Enmore packaging plant moves to Albion

MORE jobs and greater economic development will now be possible through consolidation of the Enmore Packaging Plant on the East Coast of Demerara, with the Albion packaging facility in Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).

This is according to President Dr Irfaan Ali, who during a press conference at State House on Sunday morning addressed concerns about the leasing of the Enmore Packaging Plant and an accompanying 55 acres of land to Guysons K+B Industries (GKB).

Guysons K+B Industries (GKB) is set to carry out a US$35 million development project that will see the creation of a modern oilfield service centre and manufacturing facility which is slated to create 500 jobs over the next five years.

This investment will simply be consolidated with the one at Albion, which will create even more jobs in that area and on the East Coast of Demerara.
