About us

A family business shaped by craftsmanship, resilience, and a shared future.

Founded in 1969 by brothers David and Leo Kiesel, Bouwbedrijf KIESEL takes its name from the kieselstone, a fundamental element of concrete that represents strength, stability, and durability. From these beginnings, KIESEL grew into one of Suriname’s most respected construction companies.

In 1986, leadership passed to brothers Eric, Roël and Kenneth Lim A Po. Under their guidance, the company expanded steadily, strengthening its technical expertise and delivering a wide range of impactful projects across the country.

The passing of both Eric and Roël left a profound void within the organization. They were more than leaders. They were carriers of knowledge, experience, and family legacy. Their absence marked a period of reflection and renewal. Throughout this time, KIESEL continued to move forward, supported by its people, its experience, and its solid foundation.

As of 2024, Bouwbedrijf KIESEL is led by Kenneth Lim A Po, together with Anthousa Lim A Po and Shaun Lim A Po. This leadership team builds on the company’s heritage while guiding it confidently into the future. Their focus is on stability, professional growth, and sustainable development, always staying true to the values that define KIESEL.
