Wisynco distribution ‘back on track’ after fire ravages warehouse
ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — The management of Wisynco Group Limited says it is back on track with distribution of all its local brands after a massive fire ravaged its Lakes Pen, St Catherine, warehouse in May.
A media release from the group on Friday said, after experiencing a temporary stock shortage, brands such as WATA, CranWATA, Boom, Bigga, the Coca-Cola brands and its portfolio of plastic products have returned to the Jamaican marketplace in full force.
Wisynco said while its factory and production facilities were not affected, stocks were depleted resulting in temporary shortages in locally manufactured and imported products.
The release added that since the fire, the Wisynco White Marl factories have operated continuous shifts to build up inventories and restore stock to normal levels.
“Our top priority was getting the production back up and running by being able to take products to our Angels warehouse and distribute them to our customers,” said Jerry Mahfood, operations director at Wisynco.
He added that it is important that customers in the market begin to get products on a regular and continuous basis.
