SOACAP (Societe Africane de Chaussures et Articles en Plastique)
TIME: 4:15 PM, Jul 25
BACKGROUND: Located in Zone Industrielle in Bamako. They are one of the larger plastic manufacturers in Bamako, and appear to make many of the shoes and buckets which we see around Mali.
NOTES:
Implementation
- Interested in manufacturing the Kinkajou form, etc.
- They have an injection molding machine
- They claim that the mold for the top form (which could make 3 parts at a time) would cost about $80,000
- They do not have a vacuum molding machine
- They get their molds from Taiwan
OUR COMMENTS:
- They seemed like a funny, but strange bunch-all Muslim and joking about marrying Kateri and sending their profits to Osama Bin Laden.
