Company History in Panama

It was on May 17, 1915 when, on the initiative of the businessman Ramón Arias Feraud, the
CCIAP was founded, with the purpose of unifying the efforts of the merchants to strengthen
the commercial and service activities in the country.
Over the years, CCIAP has become an important part of the commercial gear. Among his
achievements, is the creation of the Conciliation and Arbitration Center of Panama, which,
since 1994, resolves disputes between merchants privately, faster and more effectively.
This important report focused on more than 1,700 national companies today; Several of
these are also centenarian.
Felix B. Maduro, National Bank of Panama, Insurance International, Varela Brothers,
National Brewery ... each with its own history, its own anecdotes, feats and efforts, but all
with quality as a secret of success.
1877 - FELIX B. MADURO
Felix B. Maduro, the oldest company in Panama, was founded by Esther Piza de Maduro, in
the Octava Street of the Old Town.
At the beginning, it was called The Maduro Co., but, in 1928, they changed its name to the
current one.
For a long time, it was the only establishment in Panama where you can buy hats, shawls
and fashionable European perfumes. He was also the only one who had an air-conditioning
room. Their showcases were the delight of those who on Sunday afternoons walked
through Central Park.
In February 2015, Félix B. Maduro became part of the WISA, SA group, a Panamanian
business conglomerate with operations in more than 14 countries in the region, recognized
for its experience and leadership in luxury brands, perfumes, watchmaking and electronics.
Currently, Félix B. Maduro has several services in the capital city.

1904 - NATIONAL BANK

The National Bank of Panama (BNP) was the first financial institution in the country. Its
history spans 111 years of existence.
Its beginnings go back to 1904, when President Manuel Amador Guerrero promulgated Law
74 of June 13, which instituted the Mortgage and Pledge Bank.
The bank began operations on October 12, 1904, with a capital of 500,000 pesos of gold,
with what seems to be a dynamic local economy.
After almost 111 years of its foundation, the BNP is a medical institution with physical
presence in 81 places in the Panamanian geography and emblem of the country.
Its total assets as of February 2015 are estimated at $ 9,435.7 million, and its loan portfolio
is estimated at $ 3,131.0 million.

1907 - CAFÉ DURÁN

The history of the Duran coffee began at the beginning of the 20th century, when, in 1907,
barely 3 years after the Republic was established, it began in the town of Gorgona, on the
shores of what would be, seven years later, the Canal de Panama.
As a result of the construction of the Canal, Café Duran changed its establishment into a
small winery located on 16th Street, where the coffee was packed in small quarters of
newspaper and sold to the public.
Today, it is one of the most solid brands in Panama. "Coffee shops" have maintained a Café
Durán as a leading company.

1908 - VARELA HERMANOS

Another thing with more than 100 years is Varela Hermanos S.A., founded in 1908, when
José Varela Blanco, a Spanish emigrant, careful, in the district of Pesé, province of Herrera,
the San Isidro sugar mill, the first sugar mill in Panama.
Since then, the company is dedicated to the production of licenses and has maintained the
leadership in the industry. Currently, one million boxes are produced annually, representing
90% of consumption in the national market.

1909 - NATIONAL BREWERY

The history of the National Brewery dates back to 1909 when the "Compañía Cervecera y
Refrigeradora de Panamá" was born, a company dedicated to making beers and ice.
Between 1910 and 1938, the company launched the Balboa, Milwaukee and Bolívar beers;
And soft drinks with the Canada Dry brand.
On the eve of the Second World War (1939), there were several breweries in operation, but
they decided to join and form a single company, to become the Cervecería Nacional, S.A.
Currently, the domestic and imported beer market is estimated at around $ 400 million
annually, while in the beginning, beer imports and production of $ 287 million annually.

1910 - INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE

105 years ago, on March 5, 1910, the International Insurance Company was formally
incorporated, with a capital of $ 2 million.
Currently, Internacional de Seguros, located in the Torre Credicorp Bank on Calle 50, has
the support of more than 380 employees distributed in 8 branches throughout the country,
who make up a highly trained team and 100% committed to the management of the
company. In March 2014, the prestigious international rating agency A.M. Best Company
ratified the A rating (excellent) with a stable outlook, a recognition that supports the service
policy, variety of products and innumerable benefits that the company provides to its
insured. The commitment and excellence culture of Internacional de Seguros has taken it
to occupy the number one position in the insurance sector, with premiums written in the
2013-2014 fiscal period of $ 222.4 million and a market share of 16.56%. These and other
companies are a sample of the effort and commitment of companies and founders, from
Spain and Colombia, and local entrepreneurs who assume the challenge of growing
together with Panama.
