Profile

Mijnmaatschappij Curacao (MMC), also known as The Curacao Mining Company), is part of Janssen de Jong Caribbean. The Caribbean division is part of Janssen de Jong group with main offices residing in The Netherlands, where the company was founded. With the discovery of limestone phosphate rock in 1874, the Englishman John Godden, started mining the Tafelberg (Table Mountain) on Curacao.

Our main activities are quarrying, crushing and screening which results in the production and sale of various limestone aggregates and sand. We use our own natural harbor for excellent export services, storage and re-ship facilities for MMC clients. MMC processes comply with the highest quality standards. Highly technical and fully automated drilling, blasting, crushing and sieving equipment enable MMC to produce and deliver at international standard levels.

The computerized MMC laboratory and capable staff deliver and monitor the production ensuring hardness, granularity and purity. MMC can advise on stone types and fractions, depending on the task at hand.

MMC caters to the local market, but in addition has established a name and reputation in the international market with the outstanding selection of production accompanied by excellent and knowledgeable service.
