A GROUP of Chinese investors from the Guangdong province led by the secretary of the Party Leadership Group of Guangdong Province, Wei Hongguang, have showed keen interest in the production of aggregates used on Fiji’s roads.
This was after the group visited the largest quarry in Fiji and the Pacific on Tuesday; owned by Gold Rock Investments Ltd (GRIL) in Dawasamu, Tailevu.
A press release stated the group was very impressed by the capacity of the quarry, with an annual production capacity of 1,000,000m3, the high operational standards and the state-of-the-art quarry plant.
GRIL is owned by Shun Hui, who is also the managing director, originally from Hong Kong and now a Fijian citizen, who has been here for more than 15 years.
He was originally involved in seafood exports but decided to diversify into the gravel extraction industry because beche-de-mer trade had dropped.
Mr Hui presented his plans of expanding his Gold Rock quarry business which would start with the building of a jetty on the coastline of his freehold land at Dawasamu.
“This will enable GRIL to transport aggregates to customers in Fiji and the region and it’s all about exceeding customer expectations,” Mr Hui said.
