ALLHEALTH Incorporated, Rhema Cooling Incorporated and Torque-EPCM were Wednesday launched in Guyana, but not with the intention of competing with local companies but rather to enhance services provided in areas of health, green technology and engineering. The three companies, which operate under the ambit of Blue Waters Consulting Incorporated, were launched at the Pegasus Hotel on Wednesday before a wide cross-section of representatives from both the public and private sectors.

Blue Waters Inc. Global Manufacturing Officer Dave Sahadath said the group of companies was established with the distinct purpose to supply the Caribbean Region with the most advanced technologies whether in the area of engineering, pharmaceuticals, or construction.
“We are not interested in terms of coming to compete with local construction companies but instead we want to be able to enhance what they do by providing service and support,” Sahadath explained.
AllHealth, a supplier of high-end pharmaceuticals has been doing business in Guyana for the last year. However, Rhema, which specializes in solar air-conditioning units and Torque- EPCM – a company specialized in engineering will now take a leap into the local market.
The Chief Executive Officer of AllHealth Inc. Paul Gibson, during his address, pointed out that the company had 70 years of collective experience in the areas of marketing, management and healthcare.
“Based on the perpetual challenges being seen in the healthcare landscape where there are constantly out of stocks of key products, the rising prices and the manipulation of supplies available internationally, AllHealth Inc. seeks to take away the stress experienced by persons in the health industry,” Gibson said.
According to him, the company, in keeping with its mandate to provide quality healthcare, was here to deliver affordable medical equipment and supplies.
It was pointed out that the healthcare company was also equipped to provide airlift for patients who are required to conduct medical procedures abroad due to the severity of their conditions.
“If a Government or a hospital or an individual require airlift out of their country across the Caribbean into either Latin America or Miami we provide that facility as well,” the CEO explained. In 2015 the company transported five patients who were required to have medical procedures outside of their countries.
Additionally, the company provides products and services in the areas of asthma, hypertension, diabetes, anti-depressants, antibiotics, antivirals, HIV medication and products for anesthesia.
Meanwhile, Rhema Cooling Inc. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sean Carter, in his presentation, said his company was established in 2004 with the clear vision of becoming the premier provider of energy efficient residential and commercial air conditioning solutions in the Caribbean and Latin America.
According to him, the air conditioning units produced by Rhema Cooling not only reduce operational cost but it reduces persons’ risk of developing respiratory disorders.
“With our units, the hotter it gets the better it works,” Carter posited while pointing out that traditional air conditioners tend to consume more energy when the atmospheric air became hotter.
He said a high percentage of companies and individuals in Guyana and across the Caribbean were now utilizing the air conditioning units but are often faced with the high price of the electricity which is linked to the price of oil. However, he said the good news was – the solar conditioners produced by Rhema Cooling Inc. optimize energy savings by reducing energy consumption by as much as 17%.
“With the introduction of our solar technology, our solar conditioners, we say money saved is as good as money earned, and that is what we are looking to do for the businesses and the Government of Guyana.”
To start off its operation here in Guyana, Rhema Cooling Inc. donated a 12000BTY solar power air conditioning unit to the Queen’s College Information Technology Department.
Queen’s College Principal Jackie Benn minutes after receiving the gift certificate for the unit offered her gratitude to the company for investing in the school. She posited that students would now be able to conduct their studies in a conducive environment and as such urged companies to follow suit.
Meanwhile, Chief Executive Officer of Torque-EPCM Barry Mayers, in his presentation, said since 2013 his company had been providing innovative solutions in the engineering arena to countries in the Caribbean and Latin America.
The company provides pipeline and tank integrity inspections and management; plant and facilities design and maintenance; corrosion management; turnkey design and construction; project finance; health, safety and environmental management; and sustainable and green infrastructure development.
In addition to Torque-EPCM, Rhema Cooling and AllHealth, Blue Waters manages five other companies.
Blue Waters, which has created a name for itself across the Caribbean and Latin America is based in Barbados.
