BK International invests in new fleet of heavy-duty trucks

BK International Limited on Thursday received a new fleet of heavy-duty trucks from Industrial Supply of Guyana Inc. (ISG), a prominent subsidiary of MACORP to enhance the company’s work in the nation’s development.

The handover of the first eight of 50 trucks was conducted at Macorp’s Providence office. This is a new line of equipment that will be utilised by BK for their various projects. The fleet consists of tipper and concrete Foton trucks, which have modern technology features that can provide the level of output needed for the country’s development needs.

Brian Tiwari, BK International’s owner, said the new fleet of equipment will greatly complement the work done by the company for government and private projects.

“We are the first here to have these Foton trucks that hopefully we are going to take 50 from them.

“[They are for] Development work for the government and for ourselves. We have a lot of projects we are doing for ourselves too,” Tiwari said.

MACORP’S General Manager, German Consuegra said the partnership with BK International to enhance the country’s heavy-duty machinery capabilities is a privilege. He also said MACORP is providing the equipment and the inventory needed to support it.

“Besides the product that we’re introducing, we will also rely in the growth capabilities that we have built, in capability to support our customers with the right inventory and very efficient supply chain to have the right parts needed on the shelf, but also with technicians to be able to support the needs of our customers, to service their equipment,” Consuegra said.

He said this is a massive partnership that will greatly benefit both companies amid the county’s economic growth. MACORP has been operating in Guyana for more than 20 years and it is a leading heavy-duty machinery provider.
