Barama Company Ltd., a longstanding leader in the forestry sector was on Friday evening re-certified with the Made in Guyana Standard brand by the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS).
The re-certification event was hosted by the Guyana Manufacturing & Services Association (GMSA) at GuyExpo 2025 at the National Exhibition Site, Sophia, Greater Georgetown.
Barama was the first company within the timber industry to be granted rights by the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) to use the Approved “Made in Guyana” Standards Mark on its Tropical Hardwood Plywood, including regular, grooved, and water-resistant types on October 12, 2022.
General Manager of Barama Company Ltd. Mohindra Chand commended the GNBS for its professionalism, and noted that over the past three years, Barama invested more than one billion dollars, resulting in a 70 per cent increase in production, growth in employment and expanded capacity.
Chand reaffirmed Barama’s commitment to developing new products for the local and international markets, while encouraging other wood manufacturers to pursue the certification.
Executive Director of GNBS, Trevor Bassoo reminded the audience that it’s not merely a mark, but the certification represents a set of criteria met by only about 60 companies nationwide.
Bassoo highlighted the GNBS’s future plans to expand the reach of the Made in Guyana Mark beyond Guyana’s borders.
The re-certification reaffirms Barama’s commitment to quality, responsible manufacturing, and supporting a strong, competitive local forestry industry.
