Gud Heart Quarry and Construction Limited is breaking new ground with the launch of the first newly built 24-hour quarrying factory in the Volta Corridor, positioning itself as a strategic partner in Ghana’s ambitious 24-hour economy initiative.
Located in the Volta Region, this state-of-the-art factory operates around the clock, supplying high-quality granite and quartzite essential for infrastructure projects, including road construction and affordable housing development across the country.
“Our Volta factory is not just a business investment—it’s a commitment to the 24-hour economy vision. We’re bringing continuous economic activity to a region that needs jobs and development the most,” said Nana Osei-Yeboah, Director of Gud Heart Quarry and Construction Limited.
Driving Economic Growth in the Volta Corridor
By establishing the first 24-hour quarry factory in the Volta Region, Gud Heart is transforming the area into a hub for industrial activity. The factory provides steady employment opportunities for local residents, helping to reduce unemployment and support sustainable community growth.
“This initiative is about more than quarrying stone. It’s about empowering communities by creating jobs and building local expertise,” Osei -Yeboah added.
Supporting Academia and Building Expertise
Gud Heart Quarry’s commitment extends beyond industrial growth. The company is partnering closely with the University of Ghana’s Department of Earth Science, providing students with hands-on training and exposure to quarry operations and modern technology.

“The quality and availability of our stone products allow contractors to deliver infrastructure projects efficiently, supporting Ghana’s broader goals of improved connectivity and affordable living,” Osei-Yeboah explained.
Aligned with Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy Vision
The 24-Hour Economy Secretariat (24H+) highlights Gud Heart Quarry as a model enterprise demonstrating the benefits of extended operational hours, job creation, and local economic stimulation.
“Gud Heart Quarry’s 24-hour operations in the Volta Corridor exemplify how SMEs can thrive and contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s round-the-clock economy. Their work supports government plans for tax incentives and industrial park development that fuel national growth,” said Roland Azuvugu, Lead at the 24-Hour Economy Secretariat.
Gud Heart Quarry and Construction Limited’s investment in the Volta Region’s first 24-hour factory signals a new era of industrial growth in Ghana. By combining technology, education, and community development, the company is not only advancing road and housing infrastructure but also creating sustainable jobs and empowering future leaders—cementing its role as a cornerstone of Ghana’s 24-hour economy.
