About<\/span> us<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

KERSTEN has been around since 1768 and is one of the largest companies in Suriname. With its twenty operating companies, it is active in many areas: from healthcare to electronic installations; from car sales to tourism and more. Many of the operating companies serve the same market.<\/p>\n

Based on this, it was decided to combine the companies that are active in the same market into one division. The KERSTEN Building & Construction Division is a good example of this approach.<\/p>\n

The construction-related operating companies have joined forces: Argos (cement and concrete), BEM (concrete products), Spanbeton (Hollowcore slab) and Alginco (installations).<\/p>\n
