Our Story
Nearly seven decades of reliability, partnership and progress.
Firgos Antilles Business Corporation B.V. (Firgos ABC) has been serving Curaçao since 1957, building a legacy of reliability and long-term partnerships that spans nearly seven decades.
While historically known purely as a distribution partner, Firgos underwent a massive strategic shift under its current leadership to transition from a traditional wholesale into an active producer.
Rather than solely relying on importing third party goods, the company expanded capabilities to directly manufacture and convert multiple products.
Developing niche, island essential products under their private label (EMERALD), such as specialty biodegradable sustainable products and many foodservice and disposable products.

Built on experience.
Focused on the future.
The company traces its roots to Firgos Ltd., an international organization originally specialized in paper and packaging products. Through the years, Firgos established operations across Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean, including Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire, St. Maarten, Suriname, Panama, Guatemala, and Barbados.
A significant milestone in the company's history occurred in 1987, when the Curaçao operation became independently owned under its current leadership. Since then, Firgos has continued to grow and strengthen its position as one of Curaçao's leading wholesale distributors.
In 1995, the company relocated to its current facility in Parera, Curaçao, creating the infrastructure required to support future growth, expanded warehousing, and enhanced distribution capabilities.
Today, Firgos serves a broad customer base including supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, healthcare facilities, offices, government organizations, retailers, and industrial clients.
While our foundation was built on paper and packaging products, we have continuously expanded our portfolio to meet the changing needs of our customers. Firgos proudly represents internationally recognized brands including Bretaña, Corona, Postobón, Imusa, Navigator, Darnel, Cristar/Nadir, Planeta Azul, Sier Disposable, Ozon/Sun, Familia, Libresse, Tork, Pequeñin and many others, while continuing to grow our private-label Emerald brand across multiple product categories.
As we look toward the future, our focus remains on innovation, service excellence, sustainability, and creating value for the communities we serve.
