In 1910, Isaak Fernandes started the business when he opened a small novelty store in Paramaribo. The company did well and steadily grew and diversified but took off after Jule, Isaak’s only son, acquired the Coca-Cola Franchise in 1938. With this milestone the company started its successful journey and rapidly expanded into other sectors of the economy. All this came about under the inspiring leadership of Jule Fernandes. To this date FernandesGroup is one of the largest privately owned companies in Suriname and plays a leading role in many sectors of the Surinamese economy.
The FernandesGroup is currently the market leader in:
Non-alcoholic ready to drink beverages through its Coca-Cola Franchise.
The food division with our locally produced Fernandes bread, pastry, snacks and ice-cream.
The automotive sector, where we represent the world class brands Isuzu, Volkswagen, Honda, and Subaru.
Through our distribution company we represent international brands such as Enfamil, Grace, Albert Heijn, El Dorado Rum, Freixenet, Fernandes Gouda Cheese, as well as Agio. Local brands include Interfood and Sishado.
We are also active in the hardware- and home improvement division, with brands such as Makita, Reginox and Astra.
In 2014, FernandesGroup started the Fernandes Guyana Enterprise in order to export Bakery and Ice Cream products to Guyana.
Recently, FernandesGroup entered a new industry with specialized industrial services for the oil, gas and mining companies in Suriname. Some of the products and services include SKF bearings, Continental conveyor belts, Lincoln lubricants and Liebherr components.
Delight! We bring pleasure, ease and energy with our products and services.
As a successful Surinamese conglomerate with an international footprint, we strive every day to delight our customers while strengthening local communities.
Our core values passed down by our founding fathers have guided us for more than 100 years making us the respected company we are today. These values will serve as a compass while we work to achieve our ambitions:
