Mass production
With the introduction of new machinery in 2007, Holtan are able to semi mass produce numerous types of products, including, hardwood flooring, outdoor furniture, indoor furniture, wardrobes, kitchens, doors, windows etc. This allows for a lot of work in house, especially when it comes to areas like hotels. Holtan has in recent years exported hardwood flooring and outdoor furniture to the USA, Europe & South Africa.
Holtan has always prided itself in its ability to produce whatever an Architect or Interior can conceptually create. A lot of this work is done through the specialist cabinetry and joinery section of the workhop. Whether it be a Bar or Reception Counter, 10m long board room tables, Carved Panels or Intricate hardwood ceiling designs, Holtan delivers as per the designs in a superior quality.
Moladi
Realising the need of affordable housing in Tanzania, Holtan have entered into a Joint Venture to bring in a new Building Technology called Moladi. This technology is a combination of robust plastic formwork and aerated mortar. Moladi uses normal local materials such as sand, cement and steel reinforcement to form non aggregate smooth concrete walls. Moladi is a system that speeds up the construction time frame substantially compared to standard construction due to the repetitiveness and reuse of the formwork as well as the fact that every building component is pre-designed before the actual construction of the house.
The construction process is not dependant on skilled labour, so employment is generated in each area where houses are built.
Because of the material being used, this type of housing is socially acceptable. It can be used to build one house in a day with one mould, or many houses in a day with more moulds.
