MINISTRY OF FOREIGN TRADE: SPECIALIZED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF HEAVY AND LIGHT TRUCKS, THE COMPANY SATURN COOPERATION READY TO SET UP IN LUBUMBASHI IN UPPER KATANGA

This is a great harvest achieved by the Minister of Foreign Trade during his official visit to Dar es Salaam, dedicated to strengthening economic and commercial cooperation between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the United Republic of Tanzania.

Julien Paluku Kahongya convinced, on behalf of the Congolese Government, the company Saturn Coopération, specializing in the assembly, distribution and maintenance of heavy and light vehicles including Howo brand dump trucks, tankers and tractors, to come and set up in Lubumbashi in the Haut-Katanga province.
Visiting the Saturn Cooperation factory based in Kigamboni in the city of Dar es Salaam this weekend, the Minister of Foreign Trade who was entitled to technical information, reassured this company of the protection and support of the Congolese State, because once installed in the DRC, it will benefit from certain facilities.

The Minister added that the country is in the process of consolidating the improvement of the business climate, a way of encouraging investors to come and do business in the DRC to thus materialize one of the six commitments of the President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, which is the creation of jobs with the promotion of entrepreneurship

Note that the Saturn Cooperation company has an assembly capacity of 49 vehicles per day and since the inauguration of its factory, 6,000 trucks have already been assembled and intends to reach the figure of 8,000 in 2027, indicated Chirag Tanna, one of the managers of this company.
