Weindustry Park, Nigeria

Weindustry Park

Weindustry Park, Nigeria, located in Omotosho, Ondo State, was established in 2003 and covers an area of 225 hectares. The project’s total investment amounts to USD 80.56 million, with a planned construction land of 5,000 mu (approximately 334 hectares) and 330,000 mu (approximately 22,011 hectares) of plantation forest. The first phase has a land certificate of 3,250 mu (approximately 217 hectares) and enjoys a 99-year land use right. The Park focuses on industrial development and management, and its businesses include wood processing, board production, plywood, MDF, construction formwork, alcohol, formaldehyde, lead smelting, pulp and paper, gypsum board, forestry, animal husbandry, power generation, heating, gas, logistics, and customs clearance. It currently hosts over a dozen member enterprises.

The Wewood Planted Forest spans 330,000 mu (approximately 22,011 hectares), with 150,000 mu (approximately 10,005 hectares) developed in the first phaseunder a 40-year land use right. The forestry project covers the full ecological production cycle, from seedling cultivation to timber harvesting, intercropping with cassava, and deep processing, serving as a model for eco-forestry economic cycles. The second phase plans to develop an additional 180,000 mu (approximately 12,006 hectares).

After 19 years of dedicated development, Weindustry Park has rooted and expanded in Africa, accumulating rich experience in investment management and market operations. The Group has trained a large number of internationalized, multidisciplinary management and marketing professionals, with over 200 expatriates stationed locally and 5,000 local employees. A comprehensive sales network has been established in Nigeria, with products exported to neighboring countries including Guinea, Ghana, Benin, Niger, and Chad.

The Park benefits from extensive local social resources, a well-planned industrial layout, and orderly management. It has grown to become one of the largest Chinese private enterprises in Nigeria and serves as the President Unit of the Shandong Business Community Association of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in Nigeria.

On February 25, 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria inaugurated the Weindustry Park project, with the Governor of Ondo State and several government ministers attending the ceremony.

In November 2021, Weindustry Park was recognized by the Shandong Provincial Department of Commerce and the Department of Finance as a provincial-level overseas demonstration park. The Park operates under localized management, actively promotes local welfare, fulfills corporate social responsibility, and implements green initiatives, contributing over RMB 20 million in donations and resources. It has become a successful model for Shandong’s overseas investment in Africa and has made significant contributions to the development of China-Africa friendship.
