To
say that the Gecomin is the spearhead of the
Congolese economy is not a face of style. It is a
reality.
The General Congolese of Ores has for only
shareholder the Congolese state. In 1968, the
various fiscal loads of the society represented
51,6% of resources of the treasure while, main
Congolese exporter, the Gecomin contributed for
65,8% to the returns in foreign currency of
Republic.
These numbers put in light the enormous
importance of the role that the Gecomin plays the
service of the national community.
From then on, our objectives are clear.
We are a society to involvement of the state. We
put all our energy therefore to sustain the
government of Congo and his/her/its
representatives, in their effort of development
of the country. We make it indirectly while
developing us ourselves since all growth of our
production capacity implies a growth of the
turnover soon and hence, of the returns of the
state. more directly, but more locally also, we
want to assume our destiny of pole of development
of a vast economic region, the one whose basement
is our very substance.
We are an enterprise, and we want to be to the
most progressive sense of the word.
Our
objective is therefore to remain young: to
maintain and to reinforce the dynamism and the
team spirit in all cells of our society, to
improve our structures every time that it is
desirable, to review our fashions of thought when
he/it is necessary, brief to put us able to best
always to fill our role of entrepreneurs. The
first Congolese enterprise insures thus not only
an international level by his/her/its productions
but again by his/her/its management.
We
are finally and especially of the industrial. The
technical progress in our means of production is
finally our main objective. The world competition
not only imposes us a constant progress in volume
of production but also and simultaneously in
quality. Our studies, our research, our contacts
with the outside, our systematic program of
professional perfection of the men, of the top at
the bottom of the scale, is as many factors that
assure to the Gecomin a place of choice among the
big of the non ferrous world industry.
This worry to give to every cell human of our
society the means to progress, is the reflection
of our preoccupation to keep at the enterprise a
human measure. The meeting of all objectives that
one has not just described she/it is not a manner
to express this superior objective of a society
as ours, to the heart of Africa,: to reach to the
modern humanism, liberating of the man to all
plans, with what it includes passionate in this
research of a fusion between the best
authentically African values and the best values
of the technical civilization.
