With the recent certification of its fiberglass bathtubs and shower units, Fibre Tech Industrial Plastics (FTIP) will now be able to confidently export fibre glass products to countries in the CARICOM region and beyond, its Managing Director Somat Ali has said.
Ali made these remarks following the certification last Tuesday by the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS).
According to a GNBS press release, Ali said that with the expected increase of local business from the Oil and Gas Sector and the boom in construction, it is the ideal time for local manufacturers to have their products certified. “I am very happy. It makes an impact when you’ve been certified by the National Standards Body,” Ali was quoted as saying. The locally manufactured products are now, for the first time, certified under the Standard Body’s Product Certification Programme after the items were found to be in conformance with requirements of the Guyana Standard for plastic bathtub and shower units (GYS 557:2020).
