Guysons K+B Industries Establishes Guyana’s First Advanced Oilfield Manufacturing Complex at Enmore, Positioning the Country as a Regional Industrial Hub

The only operation in South America with a dedicated plating line, backed by tens of millions of USD in investment and more than 100 skilled jobs created to date

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 investments in local industrial manufacturing capacity in Guyana’s history, with tens of millions of US dollars deployed and more than 100 skilled jobs created to date.

The Enmore complex, built on approximately 55 acres of repurposed GuySuCo land, is purpose-built to deliver in-country manufacturing, CNC machining, and repair services for Guyana’s rapidly expanding oil and gas sector, directly supporting the country’s local content mandate and reducing its dependence on imported oilfield services.

Who is Guysons K&B Industries?

Guysons K&B Industries is a Guyanese-led, internationally partnered industrial company specializing in oilfield manufacturing, advanced machining, and component manufacturing for the energy sector. Founded on the vision of the late Kadim “Kads” Khan, the company has grown under the leadership of Faizal Khan and his family into a globally competitive operation headquartered in Guyana. GKB holds internationally recognized standards and certifications and operates at the intersection of local content policy and high-value industrial production.

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 specialized 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 formerly agricultural infrastructure into a next-generation industrial production hub, a model for how resource-rich nations can convert energy sector growth into durable, in-country manufacturing capability.

Strategic Partnership with Go-Invest

The 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 is part of a broader government framework to ensure Guyanese companies occupy high-value roles in the country’s energy economy, not as support contractors, but as manufacturers and innovators 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, and CNOOC in the Stabroek Block. As production scales, the demand for in-country oilfield services, including manufacturing, machining, and component supply, is projected to grow substantially. Guysons K&B Industries is well-positioned to meet this domestic demand, reduce costs for operators, and capture economic value within 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.”
