BEESONS Windows and Doors, a member group of the M. Beepat Group of Companies, on Thursday exported their first batch of windows, valued at US$25,000 to Grenada. 

The company presented their line of superior of products to Guyana with over 40 years of manufacturing experience in the Caribbean with factories in St Lucia and Grenada.

BEESONS prides themselves on the widest range of windows, doors and shop fronts with customised glass and mirror supply.
At a press briefing held at the company’s manufacturing site located at the New Eccles Industrial Site, East Bank Demerara, Director of BEESONS Windows and Doors, Mr. Muhammud Ahsan Ul-Haq explained that the company started their manufacturing only this year but was granted the land by the Government of Guyana in 2013. He noted that “the company benefited from fiscal incentives through GO-INVEST (Guyana Office for Investment) and from Government’s incentives in the form of concessions on all imported machinery out of Canada and the United States of America. The company has so far invested a minimum of US$1.8M into making this venture a reality.”

He added that the company’s products are of International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and will be supplying both the international and local markets. “The aim is to have Guyana become recognised as a producer and exporter of quality building materials,” Ul-Haq emphasised.
The Director related that Guyana is a developing country-it is one of the only countries where there is a GDP (Gross domestic product) growth and hence the reason for the company investing in Guyana.
“We understand also it is a growing market and we are prepared to work hard to serve Guyana.” “We need to work hard since the market is competitive but our equipment is of the highest standards and therefore production is of the highest quality, long lasting windows and doors” he expounded.
BEESONS as a renowned manufacturer in multiple territories bringing a complete line of UPVC products such as windows, windows with arch and sliding doors to name a few. UPVC is a type of stable plastic used in the manufacture of double-glazed window frames, doors and cladding. This material as explained will stand up to the rigid weather conditions especially during hurricane season.
Ul-Haq related that the company is here for the “long haul” and as production increases it is the plan of the company to expand. Presently the company is employing 13 persons mostly women. He noted that initially the company employed only males but “the women are more reliant and willing to work as well as learn.” Training for staff was done by personnel from Canada; these are the persons from whom the machines and materials were purchased. “Training lasted about three weeks and they were also trained by persons from the other 2 existing factories. The personnel from said companies would normally do site visit every three months to make sure standards are up kept” he indicated.
The Director expressed his gratitude for all the assistances the company was given by the Government of Guyana and Go-Invest so as to make this venture a reality.
