1. Executive Summary
This project profile deals with the establishment of Aluminium Household Utensil Making Plant
in Amhara National Regional State. The following presents the main findings of the study
Demand projection divulges that the domestic demand for aluminium household utensils is
substantial and is increasing with time. Accordingly, the planned plant is set to produce 700,000
various types of utensils annually. The total investment cost of the project including working
capital is estimated at Birr 68.81 million and creates79 new jobs.
The financial result indicates that the project will generate profit beginning from the first year of
operation. Moreover, the project will break even at 26.41% of capacity utilization and it will
payback fully the initial investment less working capital in third year of operation. The result
further show that the calculated IRR of the project is 20.9% and NPV discounted at 18% per
annum is Birr 61.38 million.
In addition to this, the proposed project possesses wide range of economic and social benefits
such as increasing the level of investment, tax revenue, employment creation and diversification.
Generally’ the project is technically feasible, financially and commercially viable as well as
socially and economically acceptable. Hence the project is worth implementing.

The proposed plant produces kitchen vessels such as pans and kettles for boiling, and bowls and
tubs using aluminium. The plant, however, will be able to produce almost any other sort of
household vessels. Market Study, Plant Capacity and Production Program
If we assume that there one aluminium utensil per household, the current demand in ANRS is
approximately 2,956,632. The proposed plan produces only 700,000 units (a small fraction of the
demand) when it operates at full capacity. If we add the demand from the neighbouring regions,
the total demand will be much more than the plants capacity.
The future demand is projected taking a conservative assumption that demand will increase by
2% annum. Table 1 depicts the outcome.

3.1.3 Pricing and Distribution
Based on the market research result and the capacity of the envisaged plant, the average selling
price of aluminium utensils has been estimated at Birr 103.
Thus, given the expected demand for aluminium utensils presented earlier, and the planned
technology, the envisaged plant is set to produce 700,000 annually.
The program is scheduled based on the consideration that the envisaged plant will work 275 days
in a year in 1 shift, where the remaining days will be holidays and for maintenance. During the
first year of operation the plant will operate at 75 percent capacity and then it grows to 85
percent in the 2nd year. The capacity will grow to 100 percent starting from the 3 rd year. This
consideration is developed based on the assumption that market and logistics barriers would take
place for the first two years of operation.
The major raw material aluminium rod should be imported preferably from Asia. It can also be
obtained from Europe but it will be a bit more expensive.
The annual raw material and utility requirement and the associated cost for the envisaged plant is
listed in Table 2 here under.

The location of the plant should be in big towns where real estates, hotels, commercial buildings,
residential houses, government buildings etc are to be built. In this regard, Bahir Dar could be
the most preferred location. Bahir Dar is also an ideal location to collect the plant's raw materials
from Addis and distribute its out put to the rest of zonal towns of the region.
The process up to forming is general; the process thereafter (polishing and surface finishing),
however, will differ depending on the demand. That is, only buff polishing is required in certain
situations and further chemical brightening to increase the gloss is required in other situations.
After polishing, too, only degreasing and washing are necessary in certain situation, and
electrolytic anodizing treatment might be required in other situations. The latter treatment will
improve the anticorrosion property and the hardening of the surface. The cost, of course, will be
higher than simply degreasing, but the merit is certain. Electrolytic anodizing treatment is done
in an acid bath such as sulfuric acid or oxalic acid, so the building in which electrolytic
anodizing treatment is done should be built separately. An apparatus to keep the products
flowing, however, such as a conveyor, is actually being used.
6
In the finishing and packing process the body and lid will be fastened in one piece during the
assembly process for products which require a lid, so two lines, on the whole, would be
sufficient. During the manufacturing process a side line would be desirable for surface treatment.
That is, external damage, slight corrosion, or other defects will generally occur during
manufacturing., Some of these defective products can be reprocessed. In order to reprocess the
defective products, however, the surface layer of the vessel must be removed in most cases.
Caustic soda is used to do the work. This line is called the alkaline treatment line. This line is
generally attached to the vessels manufacturing plant. The explanation made so far is the so
called direct manufacturing line.
Alternative technology
There are three stages in the production process of aluminum utensils. These are pressing,
beading and coating. Aluminum scrap or ingot first melted in iron crucible and molten metal
cast into the slab type open mould by mechanical process into rectangular billets. The billets,
after annealing and cleaning are pressed through re-rolling machine three to five times to make
the sheet of reaustic thickness. The stamped circle is now ready for deep drawing to get the
shape of the desired utensils. Shaping refers to pressing with dies on press, beading on the lathe
and surface treatment. Main plant and machinery include coal fired furnace, reversible moulds
could rolling mill, pre-heating, circle cutting and stamping machine, de-drawing double action
power press, spinning lather and pre- heating furnace, counter spinner and hand press and
cleaning tanks.

I. Profitability
According to the projected income statement attached in the annex part (see annex 3) the project
will generate profit beginning from the first year of operation. Ratios such as the percentage of
net profit to total sales, return on equity and return on total investment are 0.71%, 17.39%, and
1.40% in the first year and are gradually rising. Furthermore, the income statement and other
profitability indicators show that the project is viable.
The breakeven point of the project is estimated by using income statement projection.
Accordingly, the project will break even at 26.41% of capacity utilization.
13
III. Payback Period
Investment cost and income statement projection are used in estimating the project payback
period. The projects will payback fully the initial investment less working capital in third year of
operation.
IV. Simple Rate of Return
For the envisaged plant the simple rate of return equals to 17.6%.
Based on cash flow statement described in the annex part, the calculated IRR of the project is
20.9% and the net present value at 18 % discount is Birr 6.13 million.
The envisaged plant is profitable even with considerable cost increment. That is the plant
maintains to be profitable starting from the first year when 10 % cost increment takes place in
the sector. This result is accompanied by IRR value of 22.18%% with payback period of four
years.
The envisaged project possesses wide range of benefits where it promotes the socio-economic
goals and objectives stated in the strategic plan of the Amhara National Regional State. These
benefits are listed as follows
A. Profit Generation
The project is found to be financially viable and earns Birr 57.17 million within the project life.
Such result induces the project promoters to reinvest the profit which, therefore, increases the
investment magnitude in the region.
14
B. Tax Revenue
In the project life under consideration, the region will collect about Birr 24.2 million from
corporate tax payment alone (i.e. excluding income tax, sales tax and VAT). Such result create
additional fund for the regional government that will be used in expanding social and other basic
services in the region
This plan has string import substitution effect and saves hard currency
The proposed project is expected to create employment opportunity to 79l citizens of the region.
This would be one of the commendable accomplishments of the project.
E. Diversification
The project contributes a lot in diversification of the regions as well as the country’s economy.
