Origin
Our History
SLE Global’s history dates back to 2010 when the company’s founder transitioned from the financial industry to the construction development sector upon joining Veerhuis Building Systems. Veerhuis is an innovative Dutch construction system that enables the creation of high-quality, optimally insulated, termite- and earthquake-resistant structures. Initially, the focus markets were tropical Caribbean and Latin American countries. For instance, in Brazil and Haiti, Veerhuis and its partners established specialized construction material factories, supporting local construction companies and resulting in numerous projects such as churches, orphanages, hospitals, medical wards, morgues, factories, warehouses, schools, and houses.
In 2014, SLE Global was established to develop large-scale self-sufficient communities.
