Production line and factory setup overview
This proposal presents a practical low-entry sports equipment line for Afghanistan. Ball stitching, foam moulding, printing and packaging for soft sports gear. The starting configuration prioritizes economical Chinese machinery, local fabrication of noncritical items, affordable local labor, simple buildings and phased automation.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with one semi-automatic shift and the minimum core equipment needed for sports equipment line; add automatic handling and higher-speed packing after demand is proven.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Material receiving
- Cutting
- Machining
- Forming
- Finishing
- Assembly
- Inspection
- Packing
Products, capacity and market fit
- Local production can replace selected imported finished goods.
- Affordable land, labor and local fabrication reduce the entry threshold.
- A one-shift starting model limits working-capital pressure.
- Modular equipment allows capacity to grow with confirmed sales.
- Economy product range - Confirm with buyer and local market - Afghanistan and nearby regional buyers
- Standard commercial range - Confirm with buyer and local market - Afghanistan and nearby regional buyers
- Institutional contract range - Confirm with buyer and local market - Afghanistan and nearby regional buyers
- Custom project range - Confirm with buyer and local market - Afghanistan and nearby regional buyers
