AT A GLANCE THE EAST CARIBBEAN GROUP OF COMPANIES WHAT: An umbrella organization of food and beverage manufacturers and distributors WHERE: Campden Park, St. Vincent & Grenadines WEBSITE: www.ecgcsvg.com EAST CARIBBEAN GROUP OF COMPANIES S ituated just three miles west of the capital Kingstown, lies the Campden Park Industrial Estate - the island’s main manufacturing center. Its port acts primarily as a deep-water container terminal, but it also takes on much of the cargo business— flour, animal feeds, rice, aerated soft drinks, bottled water—supported by local factories, several of which happen to operate under one banner: that of the East Caribbean Group of Companies (ECGC). “We provide a very quick turnaround time by virtue of the fact that we’re situated so near to the port,” says Rachel Haslam, Marketing Manager for the ECGC. “The gate of the Campden Park Port is just meters away from ours. We can literally be packing containers as we watch the boat arrive.” With its Campden Park address facilitating the easy discharge of raw materials and the loading of finished products, the ECGC has become one of the leading manufacturers in the Caribbean region, with a healthy export trade to most of the neighboring islands between Jamaica to the north and Trinidad to the south.
