The new facility was built by Essequibo contractor Mohammed Sattur and houses several sections, including food and general products, agriculture and industrial and frozen food.
The 70 staff members at the facility include sales representatives, merchandise customer service representatives, and Money Gram representatives, among others.
The company’s services include financial, cambio, customs brokers, and automotive products, including the distribution of agriculture and chemical fertilizers.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce Manniram Prashad congratulated the management of the company for their high standards and the impressive design of the new facility. He noted that the company is in partnership with many other companies which are all involved in the economic growth of the country and in providing employment opportunities.
And Regional Chairman of Region Two Ali Baksh in his remarks thanked the group for investing in the region and for their thoughtful input in the country’s economy.
