As part of its contribution and solidarity to the King of Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and Asanteman, Blow Chem Industries Limited, the producer of Bel Aqua and Bel Beverages, has donated thousands of its products to the Manhyia Palace to support the “Dote Yie” of Nana Konadu Yiadom III, the late Asantehemaa.
The products comprised 7,500 bottles of Bel Aqua mineral water and 8,000 assorted drinks to support the funeral rites (Dote Yie) of the late Asantehemaa.
Other products donated included Bel Cola, Bel Ice, Squeeze Orange, Bel Malt, Tropical, and Tamarinda.
The Ashanti Regional Branch Manager of Blow Chem Industries Ltd, Mr. Benjamin Nsiah, and the Ashanti Regional Sales Manager, Mr. Alex Muah Blankson, made the donation on Tuesday, 16th September 2025, at the Manhyia Palace.
The donation was received by
Otumfuo Ankobeahene, Nana Kwame Kusi II, on behalf of the Manhyia Palace.
In an interview with journalists, Mr. Blankson expressed the company’s pride in contributing to such a significant cultural occasion.
According to him, their kind gesture was not the first time Blow Chem Industries had extended support to the Manhyia Palace. “We sincerely appreciate the significant role the late Asantehemaa and the Manhyia Palace played in ensuring smooth operations of businesses in the region; hence, we cannot sit down unconcerned without supporting Nananom to ensure a successful “Dote Yie” of Nana Konadu Yiadom III, who was the queen of the Asante Kingdom,” he said.
The manager reaffirmed the company’s unwavering support and preparedness to consistently patronise the activities of the Manhyia Palace.
“I can tell you that the people in the Ashanti Region have been instrumental in driving the growth and success of the Bel products of Blow Chem Industries across the market,” Mr. Muah pointed out.
On his part, Mr. Benjamin Nsiah, the Ashanti Regional Manager of the company, also highlighted their strong ties with the Asante Kingdom.
He said, “Today’s donation demonstrates the company’s commitment to cultural heritage and community solidarity.”
A cross-section of mourners described Blow Chem’s contribution as an act of respect for tradition and the Manhyia Palace.
Otumfuo Ankobeahene, Nana Kwame Kusi II, who received the donation, expressed their profound appreciation to the leadership of Blow Chem Industries for their generosity and continuous support to the Manhyia Palace on many occasions.
He, therefore, encouraged other corporate organisations and institutions to emulate the good examples of Blow Chem Industries.
Besides, he used the opportunity to encourage Ghanaians, especially those in the Ashanti Region, to continue to patronise the company’s products.
