Our voyage began in 1883, with twelve owned sailing vessels, a spirit of adventure, and a unique compass — our family values. Five generations later, the Schulte Group has grown into a leading global provider of maritime solutions. Being a family business means thinking in generations and building long-lasting, fruitful relationships with our people and our customers. We want you to feel in good hands. By sharing our expertise, we aim to help your business grow — if possible, for generations to come.
