Minister of state in the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce Delano Seiveright took the Government’s message of support for local businesses to GraceKennedy’s digital factory at Belmont Road in St Andrew on Wednesday, in another of his visits to major players in the business sector.
Seiveright told the Jamaica Observer that he reaffirmed the Government’s strong support for Jamaican companies pursuing both local and global growth, strengthening domestic and international linkages, and scaling innovation-driven enterprises that deepen value creation, expand exports, generate quality jobs, and reinforce confidence in Jamaican industry.
According to Seiveright, the visit highlighted GraceKennedy’s digital transformation and innovation thrust, including the scaling of customer-focused solutions across its operations.
GraceKennedy, one of Jamaica’s most celebrated companies, generates annual group revenues in excess of US$1.1 billion (over $167 billion), employs more than 2,000 people directly while supporting thousands more indirectly across its value chain.
Seiveright said the tour also spotlighted the growth of GK One and the group’s continued emphasis on innovation, creativity and putting customers first.
