Jamalco

In celebration of Read Across Jamaica Day, Jamalcoans proudly volunteered their time to inspire young minds through the power of reading. Jermaine Foster visited Ramble Primary, Kimberly Wright Sterling read to Class 3 at Greater Portmore Infant and Antonie Peddie, Engineering Technician, engaged students from Grade 4C and Grade 2 in an enjoyable reading session. At Jamalco, we remain committed to supporting literacy, education and meaningful community engagement in the communities we serve. #IlluminatingProgress #IlluminatingTheFuture

Two major projects. One outstanding team. The successful completion of the Coarse Seed Filter Restoration and Air Compressor #4 projects highlights the strength, resilience and collaboration of our CapEx team and partners. From restoring critical systems to rebuilding stronger after the 2021 Powerhouse fire, these projects have improved reliability, increased efficiency and strengthened refinery operations. Completed in early 2026, these milestones reflect the dedication, expertise, and teamwork of everyone involved from planning through to execution. When teams align, great things happen. #Teamwork #StrongerTogether #OperationalExcellence #IlluminatingTheFuture

We welcomed 15 chemistry students from the University of the West Indies for an immersive refinery tour, bringing their studies to life through firsthand exposure to the Bayer Process. Guided by our dedicated team, the students explored key operational areas, gained insight into safety and reliability practices, and deepened their understanding of real-world engineering. Their feedback? Informative, relatable, and confidence-boosting just in time for exams. Investing in future talent, one experience at a time. #IlluminatingTheFuture #STEMEducation #FutureEngineers #SafetyFirst

Prioritizing workplace wellness is key to building a resilient and productive workforce. In observation of World Health Day, commemorated on April 7, Jamalco partnered with the Clarendon Health Department to host a comprehensive health fair, providing over 200 team members with access to essential health screenings, medical consultations and wellness support. From “Know Your Numbers” checks to nutrition guidance, consultation with doctors, podiatry and stress-relief services, the initiative reinforced the importance of preventative care and healthy lifestyle choices. A healthier workforce is a stronger workforce. #WorkplaceWellness #WorldHealthDay #EmployeeWellbeing #AluminatingTheFuture

Jamalco was proud to participate in the NEXT S.T.A.G.E Career Day hosted by the JIE Secretariat UWI Mona Students’ Chapter, in collaboration with the Mona Engineering Society (MES) and the Faculty of Engineering Alumni Association Mona (FEAAM) at the University of the West Indies. Our team, Technical Services Superintendent Rachelle Wright, Senior Process Control Engineer Jayann Walters and Mechanical Reliability Engineer @Maurice Robinson Jr., had the opportunity to engage directly with engineering students through mock interview sessions, providing practical insights, real-world expectations and constructive feedback to help prepare them for the world of work. It was an energizing experience connecting with such a talented and motivated group of future engineers. We also shared information on the Jamalco Summer Internship Programme, encouraging students to take advantage of hands-on learning opportunities and positioning Jamalco as a place where growth and development across engineering disciplines are supported. Jamalco is pleased to play our part in supporting the development of the next generation. #EngineeringCareers #UWIMona #JIE #Internships #AluminatingTheFuture

Strong communities are built through collaboration, shared vision and purposeful action. Recently, Jamalco engaged community council members at our Annual Joint Community Council meeting, held at the Wembley Centre of Excellence. This important forum reaffirmed the critical role our council members play in maintaining strong, meaningful relationships between the company and the communities we serve. A key highlight was an engaging session led by our Jamalco Business Systems (JBS) team lead, Debbie-Ann Fagan-Warren BBA, MBA, CLSSBB where participants explored the theme “Strengthening Collaboration, Driving Action, Achieving Results.” The session challenged council members to deepen their partnerships, enhance engagement and take a more structured approach to achieving their community goals. Through interactive group work, led by Kwesi Stone, participants assessed community needs and developed practical 90-day action plans, demonstrating the power of teamwork and shared accountability in driving real progress. We remain committed to supporting the growth and development of our operating communities and value the continued partnership of our seven community councils. As shared during the session, meaningful change is only possible when we work together. #CommunityEngagement #CommunityDevelopment #AluminatingTheFuture

Jamalco recently hosted a visit from Ghanaian representatives, Derrick Cobbinah, President of the Ghana–Jamaica Chamber of Commerce and Robert Sambian,  Chief Executive Officer of the Volta Aluminum Company Limited. The visit offered an opportunity for knowledge sharing and a closer look at Jamalco’s bauxite mining and alumina refining operations, including a tour of the refinery and port facilities. Conversations during the visit highlighted the potential for deeper collaboration between Jamaica and Ghana in the mining and aluminum industries. Moments like these remind us that partnerships and shared learning continue to drive innovation and progress in our sector. #GlobalPartnerships #Mining #AluminatingTheFuture

Today, we celebrate the strength, determination, and brilliance of the women who help power Jamalco every day. From the field to the office, in leadership and technical roles, these women continue to break barriers, uplift others, and contribute to the growth of our organization and our communities.
