The Aboso Glass Factory has been reduced to rubble, its value lost forever, despite passionate protests from Aboso residents in the Prestea Huni Valley Municipality of the Western Region.
The community had fiercely opposed GIHOC Distilleries' plans to sell the factory to Linkin Birds Company for scrap, but their efforts ultimately fell on deaf ears.
In 2017, the then NPP government announced plans to restore the factory with investor support.
Furthermore, in 2019, GIHOC Distilleries Company Limited took over the factory, aiming to rehabilitate and restart production, reduce reliance on imported glass and bottles and supply local production to GIHOC's liquor brands (Castle Bridge, Kaiser, and Schnapps).
