Consumers now dictate what they want so the pressure will be on B5 to maintain this position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The consultant urged non-performing brands to admit and rectify their mistakes to regain consumer confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Alimohamed also called on other organisations to make their selection process and award schemes more transparent.<\/p>\n<p>Superbrands operates in about 88 countries, and works with approximately 20,000 major brands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About B5 Plus Ghana<br \/><\/strong><br \/>B5 Plus Ghana Limited was established about 20 years ago with its corporate headquarters at Kpone near Tema, and was initially importing steel and iron from Cote d\u2019 Ivoire and South Africa, but has grown to the stage where it now exports to other countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In November 2018, the company supported the Ghanaian government\u2019s One District One Factory initiative with the establishment of an $80 million steel factory at Ningo-Prampram in the Greater Accra Region.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>B5 Plus Limited operates in all the 15 Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) nations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s principal product is steel products which come in seven major categories such as mild steel, high tensile &amp; iron rods, galvanized products, stainless steel, marine &amp; mining, roofing &amp; nails and concrete &amp; fencing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Its vision is to become the world\u2019s steel industry benchmark through the excellence of its people, its innovative approach and overall conduct.<\/p>\n<p>B5 Plus employs about 10,000 people in Ghana and numerous others across the West African subregion. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanamma.com\/2019\/07\/b5plus.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238103\"  \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanamma.com\/2019\/07\/b5plus-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238104\"  \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanamma.com\/2019\/07\/b5plus-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238105\"  \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leading steel and iron manufacturing firm, B5 Plus Company Limited, has attained the prestigious \u2018Superbrands\u2019 status.
