Trinidad &
Tobago, W.I. - New hope now lies beyond the drum
shortage crisis currently crippling the local Steelpan industry
in Trinidad & Tobago. A local company, CG Packaging
Systems Ltd., has stepped forward to especially address
and meet the urgent and relevant need for barrels, the raw
product used in the manufacture of Steelpans, the country’s
national instruments. CG Packaging Systems is now
poised to become the main distributor of 55 gallon drums
tailored for manufacturing the steel pan.
No stranger to the industry,
CG Packaging Systems Ltd. has been importing barrels since
2007 for its parent company, Gill’s Pan Shop. The
latter is owned by Merlin “Mutt” Gill, a well-known figure
with more than fifty years’ experience in the Pan fraternity.
CG Packaging Systems has successfully
addressed the inconsistent drum quality which has plagued
the industry for more than 60 years. After more than 15
years of product research, the company has recognized the
standards of steel durability, necessary for maximum marketability,
shelf life and consistency.
The company is ready to help
stabilise the steelpan economy and to assist local panmen
in their efforts to improve their professionalism.
