The name WORMS is mainly related to the multi-generational entrepreneurial history of the family; which began in France in the early 19th century.

Since 1848, the family has fostered a long-term vision, expanding and diversifying its activities to drive sustainable growth and consolidate its business platform

Worms maintained an influential leadership and pursued international activities; diversifying over the years, matching the needs and consolidating its constantly growing business: from international British coal trade to shipping services, then onto shipbuilding, industry, insurance and banking services.

Today, our activities are a pursuance of this heritage, our core values being trust and integrity, ethical partnerships, corporate responsibility, a commitment to world-class services and market leading initiatives.
