MACORP celebrates first anniversary of Port Kaituma operations

MACHINERY Corporation of Guyana Limited (MACORP), the sole authorised dealer of Caterpillar machinery in Guyana, celebrated last Thursday its first anniversary of keeping the operations of miners running in Port Kaituma, Region 1 (Barima/Waini).

Some 12 months ago, MACORP launched the $100M investment with the main aim of being able to contribute to further development of the local mining sector, as well as provide advice and solutions that add value for users of its equipment.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle about the celebration in Port Kaituma, Asif Sahid, Parts Manager of MACORP, expressed the company’s sincerest gratitude to all its patrons, and related that MACORP would humbly continue to provide the required products and social support to its increasing client base, as well as the developing community, to ensure that patrons are successful in their business and everyday lives.

Sahid noted thus: “Customers are enjoying less downtime in the mines, easier and more affordable access to spares, and access to the many integrated solutions offered under our preventative maintenance scheme — which lends to the reduction of harmful mining practices. The residents are [benefiting] and will continue to benefit from our community-enhancement projects.”

Sahid also noted that MACORP’s presence in Port Kaituma has not only assisted the mining sector, but was able to fulfill a corporate responsibility to the community. He explained that MACORP provides a total life cycle value by offering sustainable products, engines, components, services, and solutions.

“Our products are of exceptional quality and performance, unmatched reliability and unparalleled support, which assist our customers to move ahead.”

At the commissioning of the Port Kaituma operations a year ago, Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Robert Persaud, had challenged MACORP thus: “If you want mining to stay, progress, and be efficient, you must also ensure that it is done in accordance with our laws, our regulations, and also with good mining practices; so an integrated solution must run the entire gamut that is concerned and connected with responsible mining.”

Through all its years of operation in Guyana, MACORP has been very active in the country’s development, contributing directly with technical support and equipment supply to the most important productive sectors – mining, agriculture, road construction; basic industry, marine, forestry and electricity generation.

MACORP has established locations at Bartica and Port Kaituma, but its head office is located at Providence, East Bank Demerara.
For 20 years, MACORP, the only authorised Caterpillar dealer in Guyana, has been leading Guyana’s development and fuelling the success of stakeholders by directly providing integral equipment and product support solutions. MACORP has been rewarded for its outstanding performance and contribution to the development of Guyana, and for the professional training of its employees.
