Our Heritage
A Legacy Born from Innovation
In 1837, Salomon Elias Levy Maduro started his own ship's bunkering company in the port of Curaçao. The primary income came from supplying vessels calling the port with coal, carried by hand on board in sacks.
During the years that followed, the sons entered into the business and as S.E.L. Maduro & Sons it evolved into a conglomerate of innovative companies servicing travel and tourist markets.
Today, the organization operates as a logistics center in the Caribbean, offering specialized divisions for port agents, international freight forwarding, warehousing, consolidation and distribution services.
