 PSOJ Saddened by WISYNCO Fire

Kingston, Jamaica:

The PSOJ’s officers, executives, council, membership and staff are saddened by news of the massive fire still raging at WISYNCO Group’s Warehouse in St. Catherine. WISYNCO, one of Jamaica’s largest companies with over 2000 employees, is our President William Mahfood’s family business, and they distribute and produce some of Jamaica’s best known and loved products. WISYNCO is also well known for its excellent customer service and its support for numerous events and charities.

This very unfortunate event will not only impact the distribution and production of a wide range of products, but also has the potential for serious short term financial impact at the company and national levels. We are hopeful and confident that they will be able to get back up and running in short order, and the entire PSOJ team stands ready to assist them in the rebuilding process.
