In 1992, Burns Philp (South Sea) Co Ltd, a major Australian shipping company in the South Pacific, announced the sale of its Western Samoan shipping operations after lengthy negotiations.

Four local brothers—Masoe Henry, Afamasaga Daniel, Fanene Mark, and Toleafoa Elon—acquired the business and founded Betham Brothers Enterprises Limited (B.B.E), making it a fully Samoan owned company.

Masoe Henry Betham, the B.B.E Chairman at the time, had previously managed Burns Philp shipping for 22 years.

Since then, B.B.E has grown significantly and diversified its offerings to include Shipping & Logistics, Warehousing, Stevedoring, Port Agency support, Vessel Husbandry, Transport and delivery services, as well as Customs brokerage.

For decades Betham Brothers Enterprises has focused on excellence, showing resilience and integrity through the years, and earning a reputation as industry leaders in quality and service.

Our company is not only successful in business but also values community involvement, staying true to our core mission of giving back.

Guided by the motto "Be Better Everyday," we continue to seek improvement and innovation in all that we do.
