GO-Invest partners with Guysons to expand oilfield services at Enmore

Guysons K+B Industries and the Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) are working together to craft an investment strategy that will support the expansion of local manufacturing and oilfield services at Enmore, East Coast Demerara.
According to a statement from GO-Invest, this collaboration reflects the kind of practical partnership that President Dr Irfaan Ali has consistently called for since 2020, when he urged Guyanese businesses to prepare themselves to participate meaningfully in the country’s transformation as a new oil-producing nation. In fact, that message has sharpened further, with a direct challenge to local fabricators to position themselves to seize the growing opportunities emerging from the oil and gas sector – a call that was answered by Guysons Engineering.
What began as a local ambition has since evolved into a landmark joint venture with United States-based K&B Industries, aimed at establishing advanced oilfield manufacturing capabilities in Guyana.

Back in 2022, the company acquired approximately 55 acres of land at the former Enmore Sugar Estate and has been transforming the old GuySuCo sugar packaging facility into a US$35 million modern fabrication and machining complex designed to serve the country’s expanding energy industry.
Chief Investment Officer Peter R Ramsaroop had personally met with the founder of Guysons, Kadim “Kads” Khan, whose vision laid the foundation for what the company has become today. Khan believed that Guyanese industry could rise to meet global standards and play a leading role in the country’s economic transformation.
While Khan sadly passed in 2022, that vision lives on today through Faizal Khan, alongside his four brothers and a dedicated, longstanding team, who have carried the mantle forward, ensuring that the dream not only endures but continues to expand into new frontiers.
As the project advanced, GO-Invest engaged Guysons to help shape an investment strategy that would facilitate development, align the expansion with national priorities, and support the company’s long-term growth as part of Guyana’s local content success story. Ramsaroop noted that the initiative represents a deliberate shift in how Guyana approaches development.
“This is exactly the model we are building under the leadership of His Excellency Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, where vision meets execution. We are not just attracting investment; we are designing an economy where Guyanese companies are positioned to lead, to produce, and to compete at global standards. Guysons is a clear example of a local enterprise stepping into that future,” the Chief Investment Officer stated.
The result is a clear example of how policy, investment facilitation, and private sector execution can come together to create real productive capacity inside Guyana.
The Enmore facility is already demonstrating the kind of industrial progress that many believed was years away. With tens of millions of US dollars already invested, the operation has created more than 100 jobs and introduced in-country manufacturing, machining, and repair services for the oil and gas sector.
The facility is also building out its technical capabilities through advanced Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, internationally recognised standards and certifications, and a strong focus on training and workforce development.
Notably, the company has established itself as the only operation in South America with a clear plating line, positioning Guyana at a highly specialised tier within the regional industrial landscape. In response to ongoing global supply chain disruptions, the company has also adopted forward-looking strategies such as pre-stocking critical materials to ensure operational continuity and reliability.
Looking ahead, the next phase of growth is already underway, with plans to expand operations into four buildings by June of this year, further scaling capacity and output.
Meanwhile, Faizal Khan has underscored Guysons Engineering’s commitment to building a globally competitive operation rooted in Guyana.
“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,” he said.
More importantly, the venture is helping to prove that Guyanese companies can move beyond support roles and become serious players in high-value industrial production linked to one of the world’s fastest-growing energy economies.
According to the missive, the Guysons-K&B investment is not just about one factory. It is part of a broader national story in which Guyana is converting opportunity into infrastructure, local capacity, technology transfer, and jobs. The repurposing of Enmore from a former sugar estate asset into an industrial production hub also carries symbolic weight, showing how old economic spaces can be reimagined to serve a new era of growth.
For GO-Invest, the partnership underscores its role not only in attracting foreign and local investment but also in helping to structure projects that can deliver strategic value to the economy. As for Guysons, this marks a step into a larger future, one where local enterprise is no longer on the side-lines of transformation but helping to build it.
