HOME > ABOUTCOMPANY HISTORYAt its inception, FACEY COMMODITY COMPANY LIMITED was a small commission agency called Cecil B. Facey Limited, established in 1926 and born of true Jamaican entrepreneurship.

Presently the company is one of Jamaica's largest retail and distribution enterprises, offering a wide variety of goods and supplies through its three divisions: Merchandise, Telecom and Pharmaceutical. In June 2000 Facey was acquired by Seprod Ltd and Musson Jamaica Ltd two of the largest and most successful manufacturers and distributors in Jamaica.
