sell at a competitive price against anyone, but we are
also expected to adhere to the international standards
for that product. So we need to be very innovative if we

As proud as Ramoutarsingh is of his company’s prod-
ucts and services, he is equal-
ly proud of its dedication to its
workforce. “Now that we’re 40
years old, we have second gen-
eration employees,” he says.
“I, myself, am a second genera-
tion employee and some of our
supervisors are the children of
the founding supervisors. So,
we have a very family-oriented
environment. The attitude that
we started with in Reform Vil-
lage – that we were developing
a company to help the commu-
nity - has stayed with us, even
in difficult times. We always try
to avoid retrenchment and layoffs or making jobs re-
dundant. We always try to uplift our workers. If a cer-
tain product or certain way that we are manufacturing
is no longer viable, we will go the extra mile to retrain
an employee or to find a new way of doing things utiliz-
ing the same employees.”
