In 1837, two Scottish brothers Edward and Fleetwood Pellew Wilson, founded in Salvador the Commercial House, Wilson & Co., which forty years later became Wilson, Sons & Co., Ltd. The principal activities of the company at that time were shipping services and coal trading. The initial success of the Company was due to the fact that its foundation and development coincided with the growing use of steam for ship propulsion. The Company rapidly expanded along the Brazilian coast, culminating with the establishment of a head office in London in 1845. With the authorisation of the company to operate under the laws of the Brazilian Empire officially approved by imperial letter in May, 1878, the head office of the Company was established in Rio de Janeiro, at that time the capital of Brazil. With over 160 years of experience, Wilson Sons is one of the most modern and efficient Business Groups in Brazil. Wilson Sons Group
