Bai Shan Lin Forest Development Inc president Chu Wenzhe said plans are progressing to establish its wood processing plant in Region Ten and multipurpose park, in a meeting held on Monday with President Donald Ramotar.
Chu was accompanied by a team that included China Development Bank officials, a press release from the Government Information Agency (GINA) said. Housing Minister Irfaan Ali also attended the meeting at the Office of the President. Earlier this year, Bai Shan Lin published vacancies for its wood processing plant and export company and had received an overwhelming response.
The recruitment drive came after the company unveiled plans for a proposed wood economic and trade park that will promote production of various kinds of wood products and brands. “Industries for ship building, woodworking, machinery, processing and manufacturing, food and aquatic processing, mining, a school and hospital are all included in the park,” GINA said. Plans are also in train to construct an international mall and exhibition centre at Providence to showcase finished products manufactured at the Linden plant, along with other ventures.
According to GINA, the Chinese company has been in Guyana for over eight years and operates Haimorakabra Logging, Karlam South America Timbers, Wood Associated Industries, Kwebanna Wood Productions, Sherwood Forests, Bai Shan Lin Housing, Construction, Mining development Inc., and Bai Shan Lin Ship-building and Heavy Industries Inc.
