See below full release from the Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest):

The Guyana Office for Investment is pleased to announce the successful facilitation of TidyUp’s strategic expansion into the Barbados market. This achievement was made possible through meticulous Business-to-Business (B2B) relationships cultivated during AGROFEST 2024 recently held in Queens Park, Bridgetown, Barbados.

TidyUp, a leading Guyanese manufacturer, has entered into a dynamic partnership with Kemarone Enterprises in Barbados, resulting in the development of an innovative line of cleaning solutions under the ‘O’Clean’ brand including laundry detergent, fabric softener, carwash, and degreaser, among others. This partnership marks a milestone achievement, showcasing cross-border cooperation and exemplifying the potential that exists within the Caribbean region. A notable aspect of this collaboration is the unique integration of strengths from both companies, with product formulation taking place in Guyana while the finishing and packaging is completed in Barbados.

Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, Chief Investment Officer of Guyana and Agency Head of the Guyana Office for Investment, expressed great pride in facilitating the strategic collaboration between TidyUp and Kemarone Enterprises. He emphasized that this partnership showcases the potential for regional businesses to unite, innovate, and drive economic development in the Caribbean region.

This expansion not only opens new horizons for TidyUp but also strengthens the economic ties between Guyana and Barbados.

According to Duane Young, owner of TidyUp “This partnership with Kemarone Enterprises marks a significant milestone for TidyUp. We are excited to bring our expertise in product formulation to this collaboration, and by dividing the manufacturing processes between Guyana and Barbados, we can optimize efficiency and contribute to the economic growth of both nations. The support from the Guyana Office for Investment has been instrumental in making this expansion a reality.”

Similarly, Mr. Darone Brathwaite, Managing Director at Kemarone Enterprises, expressed his satisfaction with the collaboration, stating,

“Kemarone Enterprises is happy to join forces with TidyUp in this venture. The approach of dividing responsibilities between our countries and businesses allows us to leverage each other’s strengths and deliver high-quality cleaning solutions to our customers. This partnership aligns with our commitment to innovation and sustainability.”

This collaboration boosts Guyanese exports and showcases the Guyana Office for Investment’s commitment to promoting local products worldwide.
