JOAB Global NV, formerly known as Zeepfabriek JOAB, is a family-owned business based in Suriname with over 30 years experience in the production of natural, handmade eco-friendly soap. The founders of the company are Johan & Jowanie Aboikoni. This business was established in 1991.
The early years of Joab is story of a little home based business which involved selling on the streets of Suriname from “run-away” locations as Jowanie and Johan laid the foundations of this business. Each day was a new challenge in the midst of many obstacles.
The company is now in a transition from sole proprietorship to an NV and Mirjam Georges-Aboikoni (the daughter of Johan and Jowanie) is stepping into the shoes of the new director as she takes over from her mother.
