Rayneau’s conspicuous fleet of trucks, tractors and other products from R.G. Quarry is ever-present on the island roads. Long established as a Saint Lucia brand, The RayneauGajadhar Group of Companies has now gone regional – and global. With eyes on the Caribbean market and beyond, the Group has entered into a business alliance with one of the most formidable and reputable names in the world of construction equipment, Hyundai.
