New manufacturing facility to be established in St Catherine

International manufacturer LANCO is advancing plans to establish a new manufacturing facility in St Catherine, in a move expected to create jobs, increase productive capacity and further strengthen Jamaica’s manufacturing sector.

The planned facility will focus on the manufacture of paints and adhesives.

Minister of State in the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce (MIIC), Delano Seiveright, met with senior LANCO executives at the AC Hotel in Kington on Wednesday to discuss the proposed investment and the steps required to move the project towards implementation.
