GEORGETOWN, Guyana – Thursday 25th June 2026 – Massy Guyana today broke ground on the Massy Hub at Houston, a major new development that will bring together expanded distribution, automotive sales, service and support operations on one site.

The development will include Massy Distribution Guyana’s new state-of-the-art warehouse, a major milestone in the company’s commitment to building world-class supply chain capabilities and supporting Guyana’s continued economic growth. Scheduled for completion in 2028, the 190,000-square-foot facility will serve as the flagship distribution centre for Massy Distribution Guyana. It will feature 15 container receiving bays, 28 dispatch bays, dedicated temperature-controlled storage, modern office facilities, and warehouse automation technology.

The Massy Motors component of the Hub will include four vehicle showrooms and a 9,000-square-foot administration building. The automotive service facilities will include multiple service bays, with additional capacity for larger vehicles such as delivery trucks, tractors, and other industrial vehicles. The site will also house a body shop for vehicle repairs, a parts warehouse with a dedicated parts-sales area, and a separate tyre, battery, and lubricant warehouse.

“The Massy Hub at Houston is designed to enhance operational efficiency, inventory management and customer service,” said Troy Beharry, Chairman & Country Manager, Massy Guyana. “This investment will position Massy to meet future market demand while setting a new benchmark for warehousing, distribution and automotive service excellence in Guyana.”

James McLetchie, President and Chief Executive Officer of Massy Group, said the development reflects the company’s enduring commitment to Guyana and its people.

He stated: “For Massy, Guyana is not a market we are entering; it is a country we have been proud to grow alongside for almost 60 years. We’ve always believed that lasting success comes from investing in people, building local capability, and creating opportunities that remain long after any single project is complete. That’s what today’s investment represents.

As Guyana continues its remarkable transformation, one of the country’s greatest opportunities is to develop the skills, expertise and technologies that will power the next phase of growth.

This development will help equip our teams with new capabilities, provide training in advanced technologies and modern operating practices, and create opportunities for Guyanese professionals to build rewarding careers at home.”

McLetchie continued: “We see our role as more than delivering services. It is about helping to strengthen local businesses, supporting more resilient supply chains, creating meaningful employment, and contributing to a stronger, more diversified economy. We also see this as part of the role we can play in supporting Guyana’s food security ambitions by building the capabilities, infrastructure and the partnerships needed to move food more efficiently, reduce waste and strengthen the resilience of the agricultural value chain. Guyana’s future will be built not only through investment in infrastructure, but through investment in its people. We are proud to play our part in that journey.”
