The MPs who were on their fact finding mission also visited the company’s other factory in Njeru and were impressed by the expansion that has seen the production of personal protective equipment including masks.

President Museveni in May commissioned the new factory that Picfare industries proprietors say cost $12.5million (shs44.5bn) but also hailed the proprietors for turning around from dealing in textiles to a big printing company.
According to the Picfare Industries Limited Managing Director, Mitul Jobanputra, they are shifting operations from Njeru in Buikwe district to Namanve industrial park with the new factory built on 11acres and measuring 20,000 square meters.
