The Construction Sector is the newest business sector within the ANSA McAL Group. The companies within this sector were carved out of the Manufacturing Sector, to ensure that greater attention and emphasis could be placed on growing the value proposition and efficiencies across these subsidiaries that service the Construction industry.
This sector manufactures and represents a full array of products and services, specified to meet all International Standards. This is evident in the products which fall within this Sector; ABEL clay products, Bestcrete concrete products, Penta Paints, Sissons Paints and the newly acquired Berger Paint.
Our clay and concrete products are manufactured in Trinidad within our state of the art facilities, utilising environment-friendly technologies.
ANSA Coatings operates plants in both Trinidad and Grenada, along with Berger Paints that has plants in Trinidad, Barbados and Jamaica.
One of the original subsidiaries of the ANSA McAL Group began with Trinidadian pioneer Charles McEnearney who founded the country’s first Ford Car dealership, McEnearney Motors. Today, the Group’s automotive subsidiaries represent the world’s leading automotive brands. In Trinidad – Jaguar, Land Rover, Honda, Mitsubishi, Ford, FUSO, Freightliner, JINBEI, Golden Dragon, New Holland, Hyster, UTILEV and Bush Hog. In Barbados – Ford, Mazda, Kia, Hino and Daihatsu.
Top brand international performance records, exceptional after sales service, employment of the latest vehicle maintenance technologies, and a formidable reputation backed by the ANSA McAL name ensure a competitive advantage in our markets of operation. All the dealerships under ANSA Motors are covered with a convenient and affordable three year warranty on parts or 100,000 kilometres, service and insurance once financed by ANSA Merchant Bank. This gives the customer a full service value upon purchase, making the cost of vehicle ownership with this group the lowest and best possible decision for new vehicle purchases nationwide.
The strength of the ANSA Motors Group is further strengthened through the synergies gained through the “In One” product.
Trinidad and Tobago was one of the first Caribbean territories to begin brewing its own lager beer in 1950. Since then, CARIB Brewery has built a solid reputation as being the Caribbean beer, with subsidiaries producing and operating in Trinidad, St. Kitts & Nevis, Grenada and the United States.
