Founded in the 1940s, West Indies Group is a diversified, privately-held family group — anchored in Haiti at the crossroads of Caribbean trade, operating across ports, energy, logistics, industrial, and agro-industry.
Across three generations, the Group has reinvested in the infrastructure powering the country's economy, pairing patient ownership with disciplined operation of its assets. Today, the Group brings together its family of operating companies across five sectors, and continues to invest in the modernization and expansion of its platforms alongside international institutions and operators.
Through successive partnerships with global leaders — Colgate-Palmolive, TotalEnergies, Cemex, and today AGL/MSC — the Group has built leading franchises in ports, energy, logistics, and agro-industry.

Its bonded facilities support re-export across the Caribbean basin.
