As the National Milling Company of Guyana (NAMILCO) marks 54 years of doing business in Guyana, the company yesterday introduced a $1.6 billion mixer plant at its Agricola, East Bank Demerara facility.
This plant, according to the company, is the result of three international companies and two local companies working over the past two and half years. It will run on a 24-hour basis, and is fully computerized.
The mixer is able to produce 20,000 kilogrammes of flour per hour with state-of-the-art ingredient feeders. The plant can also store some 700 metric tons of flour, which can supply the nation for 10 days.
NAMILCO says that their aim is to not only quality flour but one is which unique to each individual baking style.
