Our Story
When John Boddie decided he would end his career at his daily job he had never expected to become one of the largest providers of welding materials in the island of Curaçao. However, a big opportunity was presented to him when Paul Roukema, current owner and managing director of Hilco international offered John the opportunity to start representing their brand in Curaçao. What followed was a story of success that spanned over two decades in the sunny Caribbean.
Today, Hilco Curaçao offers a complete and extremely varied range of welding consumables for unalloyed and low alloyed steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals. Reputable inspection and certification organizations such as Lloyds Register, ABS, DNV and TüV have been testing our products for years, as well as verifying and certifying the quality. That is how the Hilco brand, which can be recognized by the familiar green color, got its reputation for quality and rock-solid service.
Hilco products are used in more than 100 countries worldwide in a whole range of sectors, from the offshore industry to transport and crane building
