China Poly Group donated 96 machines to Uganda Police Uniform Factory

In 2014, the Chinese company, China Poly Technologies Inc, donated 96 machines worth $800,000 to the Ugandan Police garment factory and send technicians to train local employees. The factory will enable the Police to produce their own uniforms and at a later stage, supply other security organizations. The Inspector General of Police, Gen. Kale Kayihura, said the factory would in addition to providing uniforms for the Force create jobs, especially for spouses of Police officers and tremendously reduce costs of uniforms. He noted that the factory, which currently has a capacity of producing 100 uniforms per day, will, with time, be able to produce more than 200 uniforms per day. The facility will reduce the cost of uniforms from $27 to $24 each. There are over 200 people working in the factory producing over 260 suits of uniforms everyday.
