The company established in 2016 operates as a subsidiary of  Sunda (MU) Holdings Limited, and it\u2019s situated at Nchaban in the  Western Region of Ghana. Twyford Ceramics is chiefly a tiles  manufacturing company with a production capacity of capacity of 14.4  million square meters per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to growing demand for their products, the company resolved to \nexpand its factory to meet global demands. However, their efforts to \nrealise this strategic agenda is being foiled by legal suits from family\n landholders and the traditional authority in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>District Chief Executive for the area, Joseph Amoah in an exclusive \ninterview with Skyy News\u2019 Abraham Mensah, said the ministry of trade and\n the coordinating council for the Western Region have been detailed and \ninvolved in measures to address this problem. He added that the court \nhas directed Twyford Ceramics Limited to proceed with their expansion \nworks as they address the issue regarding ownership of the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026later I think the court allowed them to continue with the work while the matter continues\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Joseph Amoah remarked that the litigation has had some negative \nconsequences on the company\u2019s operations, stressing that their \nfinanciers have been a bit frustrated about the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis dispute is creating a problem for the whole project because  according to management their financiers in China and Europe are highly  expectant of the outcome of this dispute. And so we are on it. But we  reached a point where there was a MoU to be signed by the chiefs and the  family. Unfortunately the family is claiming that their lawyer is  preventing them from signing it which will clear the way for Twyford to  continue. So the Regional Minister has agreed that we invite their  lawyer to explain why he\u2019s asking the family not to sign\u201d, Hon. Amoah  explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>credit: skyypowerfm.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Skyy News have learnt that some litigation concerning land titles is impeding a major factory expansion at Twyford Ceramics Limited.
