History
In 1837 Salomon Elias Levy Maduro started his own ship’s bunkering company in the port of Curacao. The primary income then came from supplying vessels calling the port with coal. These were 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 envolved into a conglomerate of innovative companies servicing travel and tourist markets. It became one of the leading companies in Dutch Antilles with real estate holdings, travel/leisure activities and involvement in shipping and transport industries. These activities are all now concentrated in the holding structure of the Maduro Group NV with headoffices in Curacao.
