ENMORE, GUYANA — April 2026 — Guysons K+B Industries (GKB), a joint venture between Guyana-based Guysons Engineering and United States-based K&B Industries, has established an advanced oilfield manufacturing and machining complex at the former Enmore Sugar Estate in Guyana.
The facility represents one of the most significant Bilateral investments in Guyana oilfield manufacturing capacity, with tens of millions of US dollars invested and more than 100 skilled jobs created to date.
The Enmore complex, built on approximately 55 acres of repurposed GuySuCo land, is re-developed to deliver in-country oilfield manufacturing, CNC machining, and repair services, as well as customer inventory storage for Guyana’s rapidly expanding oil and gas sector. The facility directly supports Guyana’s local content legislation, while reducing dependence on imported oilfield services and overseas manufacturing.
Who is Guysons K&B Industries?
Guysons K+B Industries is a Guyanese-led, internationally partnered industrial company specialising in oilfield manufacturing, advanced machining, and component manufacturing for the energy sector.
Founded on the principles of the JV partners, the company has grown into a globally competitive operation, headquartered in Guyana. GKB operates at the intersection of local content development and high-value industrial production, while maintaining internationally recognized standards and certifications.
What Makes the Enmore Facility Significant?
The Enmore manufacturing complex is notable for several industry-defining capabilities:
- Only operation in South America with a dedicated plating line, placing Guyana at a specialised industrial tier within the regional energy services landscape.
- Advanced CNC machining capabilities aligned with international oilfield standards and certifications.
- Proactive supply chain management, including pre-stocking critical materials to ensure operational continuity amid global supply chain disruptions.
- Planned expansion into four operational buildings by June 2026, further scaling manufacturing output and service capacity.
The facility transforms what was once agricultural infrastructure into a next-generation industrial production hub, a model for how resource-rich nations can convert energy sector growth into long-term, in-country manufacturing capability.
Strategic Partnership with Go-Invest
The Government of Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest) has engaged directly with Guysons K+B Industries to develop a structured investment strategy for the Enmore expansion, aligning the project with Guyana’s national industrial priorities.
The collaboration forms part of a broader government framework aimed at ensuring Guyanese companies occupy high-value roles within the country’s energy economy, not simply as support contractors, but as lead manufacturers, innovators, and long-term industrial partners operating at international standards.
“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 local enterprise stepping into that future.”
— Hon. Peter R. Ramsaroop, MP, Chief Investment Officer, Guyana
Why This Matters for Guyana’s Energy Economy
Guyana has emerged as one of the World’s fastest-growing oil-producing nations following major offshore discoveries by ExxonMobil, Hess Corporation, and CNOOC in the Stabroek Block.
As production continues to scale, the demand for in-country oilfield services — including manufacturing, machining, repair, and component supply, is expected to grow substantially. Guysons K+B Industries is strategically positioned to meet this demand, reduce costs for operators, and help retain greater economic value within Guyana.
“When we started this journey, we believed Guyanese companies could do more than just participate; we could lead on manufacture, innovation, and deliver to the highest international standards. With the support of the Government of Guyana, Exxon Mobil and our JV partnership, we have built not just a facility, but a capability that serves Guyana and the region now and for decades to come.”
