The ANSA McAL Group has an­nounced plans for an 82-acre wharf and lay­down yard at Wales on the West Bank of De­mer­ara, Guyana and is al­so con­duct­ing a fea­si­bil­i­ty study for a brew­ery.

This as the group cel­e­brates 30 years of op­er­a­tion in Guyana.

Ac­cord­ing to a re­port in Guyana’s Stabroek News, at an event on Fri­day, ANSA McAL’s Group’s Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer, An­tho­ny Sab­ga III, told at­ten­dees, “The Group ac­quired 82 acres of land in the Wales, West Bank De­mer­ara re­gion and will be­gin the de­vel­op­ment of a wharf and lay­down yard with­in that acreage to fa­cil­i­tate port and ma­rine com­merce.”

He added the Group is cur­rent­ly con­sid­er­ing sig­nif­i­cant in­vest­ments with­in the man­u­fac­tur­ing, con­struc­tion, re­al es­tate and bev­er­age sec­tors.

The Guyana Chron­i­cle al­so re­port­ed that Sab­ga III said since 1992, the com­pa­ny has been on an ex­pan­sion dri­ve in Guyana, push­ing ahead with many of its planned strate­gies for the cre­ation of long-term val­ue.

Re­cent­ly, the com­pa­ny es­tab­lished the Guyana Brew­eries Inc to fur­ther the am­bi­tions of the Carib Brew­ery dis­tri­b­u­tion net­work.

This en­ti­ty is fo­cused on the sale and mar­ket­ing of the Carib Brew­eries range of bev­er­age prod­ucts.

These prod­ucts are al­ready be­ing man­u­fac­tured in four ju­ris­dic­tions, even as it is cur­rent­ly un­der con­sid­er­a­tion for man­u­fac­tur­ing here in Guyana, Sab­ga III said.

In ad­di­tion, the ANSA McAL Group is ex­pect­ed to launch its con­struc­tion equip­ment busi­ness­es soon, to ser­vice and sup­port the rapid de­vel­op­ment of Guyana.

“To deep­en our part­ner­ship with the gov­ern­ment and the peo­ple of Guyana for this very ex­cit­ing phase of Guyanese de­vel­op­ment, we’re proud to be part of the land­scape and part of this pro­gres­sive coun­try that recog­nis­es the im­por­tance of not just build­ing for the sake of build­ing, but build­ing for eco­nom­ic re­silience through the di­ver­si­fi­ca­tion, in­vest­ment in hu­man cap­i­tal and in­sti­tu­tion­al ca­pac­i­ty,” Sab­ga III said.

Guyana is a good place to be and in­vest, he said, adding that the com­pa­ny in­tends on stay­ing in Guyana for the long haul.
