Our history
1988
The journey started
In the year 1988, Martien Driessen moved from the Netherlands to Curacao. At first, Martien started to work as a baker and he gave courses to teach Curacao baking skills. As a result of that, he has gained extensive experience in the bakery world in Curaçao.
Caribbean Bakery Supplies
1996
As a consultant in baking supplies, he continued his journey on Curacao. He quickly got more experience in wholesale and saw that there was a big demand for a wholesaler that specialized in bakery supplies. Therefore in 1996, Martien started Caribbean Bakery Supplies on Curacao, which became successful very quickly.
2001
New branch Aruba
In 2001 Caribbean Bakery Supplies opened their branch in Aruba. Seeing a big demand in not only bakery but also restaurant supplies, Martien expanded the business in 2006 to both Bakery as Restaurant supplies, now also offering wide selection of kitchen supplies and equipment in Curaçao.
New Branch
Bonaire
2012
In 2012, Caribbean Bakery Supplies expanded its business with a branch in Bonaire.
Recognizing the significant demand from this island, establishing a local store, and stocking inventory on the island itself has proven to be a wise decision.
