Zambia's Kapiri Glass Manufacturing Company (KGMC) is expected to resume production in Q3 2013 after equipment is installed.
KGMC chairman Costain Chilala said new machinery for the plant is expected to arrive in the country early next year.
KGMC has partnered with more than five equipment suppliers from Switzerland, Italy and Germany that specialise in glass-making equipment.
The new machinery is expected to arrive in the country somewhere between April and May, 2013.
Mr Chilala said once the plant commences production it will create about 600 jobs for the local people in the area.
KGMC signed an $8 million loan agreement with the PTA Bank to revive the plant.
The plant will have an initial production capacity of 75 tonnes of glass a day and later expand to 100 metric tonnes per day
