Farfan & Mendes Limited (F&M) has partnered with FT Farfan Limited of Trinidad and Tobago to launch Ibis Construction Equipment Sales and Rentals (ICON).

As part of the $800 million investment, the company opened its showroom yesterday at La Bonne Intention, on the East Coast of Demerara, for its extensive range of heavy duty equipment and tools.

At the launch, F&M Managing Director Andrew Mendes said local companies should use the developments in the oil and gas to build capacity in other sectors to global standards and ensure that should there be a downturn, they can perform with any competitor in any needed area.
