The Marshall Islands Service Corporation (MISCo) celebrated its 20th anniversary last Friday at the company’s compound in Uliga.
Speeches, dances, food, a large cake, and discounted prices on products at MISCo Wholesale.
MISCo Manager Kakom Paul emceed the event, and MISCo founder and Marshall Islands Holdings Inc. President and CEO Patrick Chen and MISCo board member Bryan Edejer spoke during the event.
Chen made the point that the company was started with the aim of “helping people on the outer islands.” This accounted for the launching of the MISCo Market, which specializes in purchasing local food products and value adding for products it sells to customers, as well as the MISCo Handicraft Shop, which purchases crafts from many Marshallese.
MISCo Wholesale is a more recent addition to the MISCo operation. Chen noted that both Majuro and Ebeye were celebrating 20 years of operations.
