For its 50 years in service, the National Milling Company of Guyana (NAMILCO) celebrated in grand style, with three hundred guests, at the Marriott Hotel last Thursday evening. Over the years, Guyana’s largest flour company has worked to transform the country’s capability to produce and supply flour rather than to import.

NAMILCO was founded on May 17, 1969 and has grown tremendously. The company exports to Brazil, Canada, Antigua, Barbados and other destinations and  has diversified over the years, now producing Thunderbolt All Purpose Flour, Maid Marian Self-Rising Flour and Maid Marian Pholourie Quick Mix.
