Guysons K+B Industries and the Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest) are collaborating to craft an investment strategy to support the expansion of local manufacturing and oilfield services at Enmore, as Guyana continues to build out its energy-driven economy.
The initiative centres on the transformation of approximately 55 acres of land at the former Enmore Sugar Estate into a modern fabrication and machining complex. The project, a joint venture between Guysons Engineering and United States-based K&B Industries, aims to establish advanced oilfield manufacturing capabilities to service the country’s rapidly growing oil and gas sector.
Guysons Engineering has since moved to answer that challenge, evolving from a local enterprise into a key player in industrial development through its partnership with K&B Industries.
The Enmore facility has already attracted tens of millions of US dollars in investment and created more than 100 jobs. It currently provides in-country manufacturing, machining and repair services for the oil and gas industry, while expanding its technical capabilities through advanced CNC machining, internationally recognised standards and workforce training.
The company has also established what it describes as the only operation in South America with a clear plating line, positioning Guyana within a specialised segment of the regional industrial market. Plans are in place to expand operations into four buildings by June, further increasing production capacity.
Guysons’ development is rooted in the vision of its late founder, Kadim “Kads” Khan, who believed local industry could meet international standards. That vision is now being carried forward by Faizal Khan and his team.
Mr. Khan said the company remains focused on building a globally competitive operation.
“When we started this journey, we believed Guyanese companies could do more than support, we could manufacture, innovate, and deliver at the highest international standards. With the support of Go-Invest and our partnership with K&B Industries, we are building not just a facility, but a capability that will serve Guyana and the region for decades to come.”
Go-Invest’s involvement includes helping to shape the investment framework to align with national priorities and support long-term growth, as part of Guyana’s broader local content strategy.
The project also represents the repurposing of the former sugar estate into an industrial hub, reflecting a wider shift in the country’s economic landscape as it transitions from traditional industries to energy-driven development.
Officials say the Guysons-K&B venture is part of a broader effort to convert oil and gas opportunities into infrastructure, technology transfer, local capacity and employment, as Guyana continues to expand its industrial base
