history
On September 20, 1970, Mr. S. Baldew started a small trading company in Paramaribo, Suriname. The company literally traded in practically everything that Mr. Baldew saw fit for the Surinamese market. This varied from products is the basic needs category, to construction materials. Mr. Baldew even bartered with neighboring countries to supply them with products that were a surplus in Suriname, in exchange for products which could be sold locally. He named the company International Jumbo Trading. The company became a household name in Suriname, and even started regional delivery. It gained a reputation for being respectable, professional and service oriented. To this day, even after the transition of the trading company into a holding company, Jumbo Group of Companies, the name ‘Jumbo Trading’ is still top of mind when any of the current companies are mentioned.

In 1995, Mr. S. Baldew saw the opportunity to step into the world of production. Up until that time he was known best as the founder and driving force behind International Jumbo Trading, a company founded in 1970, that was specialized in trading in an array of products. He seized this opportunity willingly and successfully. He took over the well-known furniture factory PEET, and got his first taste in the world of production. He named the company Jumbo Timber, a company which is now a modern furniture factory, suppling both local and regional, commercial, governmental and private customers, with high quality products which fit their furnishing needs.
