Guyanese-owned · Based in Vietnam · Factory-direct

The materials in your
local hardware store
came from Asia.
So did ours — minus
the markup.

Most construction materials in Guyana are imported from China and resold at a significant markup. JuNorth Supply sources equivalent — and often better — materials direct from Vietnamese factories and delivers them to your project for less.

The part nobody mentions

Your supplier already imports
from Asia. You're just not
the one benefiting.

Guyana imported over US$929 million worth of goods from China in 2024 alone. A significant portion is construction materials — tiles, fixtures, fittings — that land in a Georgetown store, get marked up, and get sold to you as "local supply." That system has worked for decades. But with Guyana building at a pace it never has before, the markups are bigger, the stock is thinner, and the contractors who figure out how to source direct are the ones winning the most profitable projects.

How the money flows

Two supply
chains.
Very different
costs.

Both start in Asia. Only one of them puts the savings in your pocket.

The current system
1
Factory in China produces tiles or fixtures
2
Exporter / trading company adds their margin
3
Ships to Guyana importer
4
Georgetown distributor adds their margin
5
Hardware store adds retail margin
6
You buy it. Full price. No leverage.
3–5 markups stacked on the factory price
The JuNorth way
1
Factory in Vietnam — we visit directly
2
We verify quality on-ground before anything ships

Factory price + one honest fee. That's it.
What the current system costs you

It's not just the price.
It's everything that comes with it.

Guyana's largest suppliers carry solid stock for common builds. But on volume, specs, or competitive pricing — that's where cracks appear.

📦

Limited selection on large volumes

What's on the shelf is what's available. For big projects, you order and wait — on their timeline, not yours.

💸

No pricing leverage

The price is the price. You're buying from a distributor who bought from an importer who bought from a trader. The factory price is long gone.

🔁

Stock inconsistency

Order 500m² today. Get a different batch in 6 weeks. Color variation. Texture variation. Your finishes don't match. Your client notices.

🧾

Zero supply chain visibility

You know what it costs and when it might arrive. You don't know where it came from, how it was made, or whether the next batch matches.

"The materials in Gafoors, National Hardware, and every major supplier already came from Asia. JuNorth removes the middlemen between you and that same source."
What we do

We're your person
on the ground
in Vietnam.

JuNorth Supply acts as your procurement partner — physically present at the factories you can't visit. We speak the supply chain language so you don't have to. We confirm quality before it leaves the warehouse, not after it reaches your site.

We're Guyanese. We know how projects run at home. And we're in Vietnam — which means both sides of your supply chain are covered by people who actually care about the outcome.

Why Vietnam, not China?

A fair question.
Here's the honest answer.

Most materials in Guyana's hardware stores come from China. We source from Vietnam. Here's why that matters.

Quality

Vietnam manufactures to export standards

Vietnamese manufacturers export heavily to Australia, Europe, and the US — markets with strict quality requirements. Those production standards benefit every buyer, including you.

Supply chain

Direct — not through trading companies

Much of China's export supply chain runs through large trading intermediaries. In Vietnam, we work factory-direct — the price reflects what it actually costs to make, not what a trader decides to charge.

Guyanese-owned

Your money stays closer to home

JuNorth is Guyanese-founded and operated. When you work with us, you support a Guyanese business — not a foreign trading company with no stake in how Guyana builds.

Why it works

Built differently from day one.

01

On the ground in Vietnam

We visit factories, inspect facilities, and verify quality in person — not from a desk. No blind sourcing. No assumptions about what you'll receive.

02

Rooted in Guyana

We understand how Guyanese projects actually run — the timelines, the pressures, the local standards. We source accordingly, not generically.

03

Verified before it ships

Quality is confirmed at the source. If it doesn't match spec, it doesn't leave the factory. You find out before loading — not after it arrives at your site.

04

One honest fee

We charge a transparent sourcing fee. You see factory price and our fee separately — no hidden markups, no layers you can't account for in your budget.

What we source

High-quality materials,
sourced direct from
Vietnamese factories.

Every order is built around your specific project requirements. We don't carry fixed inventory — we source what you need, in the quantities that make sense for your build.

Ceramic & Porcelain Tiles
Bathroom Fixtures — toilets, sinks, vanities
Sanitary Ware
Flooring Materials
Custom Orders Based on Project Specs
Real numbers — ceramic tiles per m²
Georgetown hardware stores (avg) $18–30 USD
Vietnam factory-direct (FOB) $3–8 USD
On a 500m² residential project, that spread is $7,500–$11,000 in material savings on tiles alone. Add bathrooms and fixtures and you're looking at a fundamentally different project margin.

Final landed cost includes freight and customs. We provide a full landed-cost quote — not just FOB — so you compare apples to apples before committing.

What this means for your project

Your margins improve.
Your supply chain tightens.
Your reputation holds.

Real savings on every order

Factory-direct pricing is repeatable. Every project you source through us carries the same cost advantage — it compounds over time as you win more work at better margins.

A supply chain you understand

You'll know where your materials came from, what factory made them, and what quality checks they went through. No local distributor can give you that visibility.

How it works

Simple. Structured. No surprises.

1

Tell us what you need

Share your materials list and project timeline. The more detail, the sharper your quote — but we'll help you work through specs if needed.

2

We source & verify

We identify the right factory, confirm pricing, and inspect quality in person before you commit to a dollar.

3

You get a full landed quote

Factory price. Our fee. Freight. Customs. All in one number — compare it directly against what you pay locally.

4

We manage the order

From production confirmation to shipment coordination, we handle it. One contact. Full visibility. No chasing.

We've heard the questions

What contractors ask us first.

I've always bought from National Hardware or Gafoors. Why change?
You don't have to change everything. Start with one project, one product category. Compare what you paid locally vs. our full landed-cost quote. If the numbers don't work in your favour, you've lost nothing — the quote is free.
What about shipping time? I can't wait months for materials.
Lead times from Vietnam to Guyana typically run 6–10 weeks. That works if you plan ahead — and most large projects have that window if you factor it in from the start. We'll give you realistic timelines, not optimistic ones.
How do I know the quality will be good? I can't see it before it arrives.
We see it for you. We inspect on the ground at the factory before anything is loaded. Photos and specs at every stage. If something doesn't match what you ordered, it doesn't ship. More visibility than any Georgetown shelf.
