Maduro Holding B.V. is the holding company of the Maduro Group, a Dutch Caribbean business with interests in shipping services, logistics, and real estate.

History

S.E.L. Maduro was founded in 1837 as a trading company between local Caribbean ports. Following the opening of the Panama Canal and the discovery of oil in the nearby Maracaibo Basin, the port of Willemstad became a regional energy hub. During World War II, Willemstad's port was the primary supplier of fuel to the Royal Air Force during the North African Campaign.[1]

In 1916, Maduro and local financier Joseph Alvarez-Correa founded Maduro's Bank, the predecessor to Maduro & Curiel's Bank.[2]
