He expressed surprise and appreciation upon learning that the company was building a permanent structure for the police.

 

Nana Owusu, chief of the area, praised Mr. Nsenkyire for his unwavering commitment to the well-being of the Samreboi community. He emphasized that he lacked the words to adequately describe the company’s Managing Director.

 

This partnership between Samartex Timber & Plywood and the Ghana Police Service serves as a model for community engagement and corporate social responsibility. It demonstrates the positive impact that businesses can have on their surrounding communities by investing in infrastructure, supporting essential services, and fostering a sense of partnership.
