Silvie’s newest location in Reg 2 to create job opportunities

Silvie’s Industrial Solutions on Saturday opened its newest location at Henrietta Village, Essequibo Coast in Region Two, (Pomeroon-Supenaam) – an investment that is expected to create employment among other benefits.
Speaking at the launch, Director of Business and Entrepreneur Development at the Ministry of Tourism, Industry, and Commerce, John Edghill applauded the company for its wise move to Essequibo, adding that it is the right development for the region.

“This is the right development for the region and is known as the best… There is a saying that the best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago and the best to plant a tree also is today… I am overwhelmed that Silvie’s has invested and extended its business from the capital into Region Two,” Edghill related.
Edghill further told the gathering that the Government of Guyana will be opening an industrial estate that will create employment for hundreds, and as such the machinery and equipment, tools and assets needed for the estate will be available at Silvie’s.
Meanwhile, Company Chief Executive Officer Bramanand Persaud said that the business was named after his mom. Initially, the establishment was once called Silvie’s Variety Store but was renamed Silvie’s General Store and only recently rebranded Silvie’s Industrial Solutions.

The reason for the rebranding, he explained, is that the store is the one in Guyana that finds a solution to customers’ problems. He added it was a tough decision to move to Essequibo but during customer interactions, the demand for their products in the region was very high.

“Customers socialised and said that whenever they need a part they have to travel to Georgetown and get a small part and the travelling does be plenty and hectic for them… So, we decided to open our new branch because of customer demand. I can see that the burden of going to Georgetown will be eliminated…”
Persaud further added that with the new location, it will open new opportunities for Essequibians with respect to employment.

Silvie’s Industrial Solutions is a generation of greatness. The business has been in operation since 1972 providing products such as automobile and motorcycle parts.
They are now diversified into hardware, electrical, and industrial products. The Henrietta branch attracts customers in the gold mining, construction, vulcanising, and manufacturing industries.
