About Petran
Petran Corporation Inc.
Global sourcing, procurement and industrial supply for Guyana and the Caribbean. We connect international manufacturers with local equipment and material requirements.
Our purpose
Powering growth.
Building connections.
Petran Corporation Inc. is a Georgetown-based company that sources and supplies specialized equipment, instruments, materials and technical products to meet project-specific requirements across Guyana and the Caribbean.
As investment expands across energy, agriculture, healthcare and other critical sectors, organizations that rely on internationally developed specialized equipment face long lead times, complex logistics, customs requirements and a lack of coordination across multiple suppliers.
Petran was created to simplify that process. We manage sourcing, supplier coordination, logistics, compliance and local delivery through one accountable partner — helping public and private sector clients get the equipment and materials they need with greater clarity, reliability and efficiency.
Petran Corporation Inc. was established on June 25, 2015, in Georgetown, Guyana, and officially commenced operations at the beginning of 2026.
