Founded by the brothers Piet and Arthur Dumoleyn, brewers from Zeeland who decided around 1950 to carry on their business in Suriname, with Amstel Brouwerij (taken over by Heineken in 1968) as a shareholder from the start. Opened by Prince Bernhard in October 1955 on Brouwerijweg in Beekhuizen, Paramaribo, and brewed its first Parbo Bier at the end of December 1955; the only brewery in Suriname until the Sranan Biri brewery opened in 2014. In 2016 it bought the land, buildings, equipment and the Sranan Biri brand of that brewery after it closed, and since August 2022 it also brews Heineken for the local market.
