About us
Our Company
We are a distribution company that cares not just about the products we sell but about the lives of the people who use them;
The people who work to provide them to our customers, shoppers and consumers as well as those in the communities in which we operate our businesses.

This has shaped our corporate priorities and values, influencing every aspect of our commercial operations.

Taking Good Care Of Caribbean People
Has Always Been at the forefront of the AA LAQUIS business.
We are one of the largest indigenous companies that enhance the quality of lives within our regional community. Started in 1948 as a haberdashery store by Anthony Abraham Laquis Snr, it was later expanded by his eldest son Abraham A. Laquis.
The organization is now managed by the third generation of the Laquis family and has since evolved into a diversified business model encompassing several companies in the Medical, Food and Consumer, Pharmaceutical, Emergency, as well as Retail sectors.
Our strong heritage over the last 67 years has been rooted in traditional family values, providing a solid foundation built on stability, integrity and reliability.
“More than products, its people’s lives” is more than just a tagline for us, these words form the bedrock upon which our company was built and still operates.
Whether we are working with suppliers, doctors, pharmacists, supermarkets or consumers, we believe that we are making a contribution to creating a better life for current and future generations.

Testimonial from UWI MONA
“Partnering with AA Laquis has been very beneficial to our developing UWI Mona School of Dentistry. They have been open to suggestions, quick to respond to questions, and they have provided us with a solid infrastructural and technologically sound foundation on which the school is being built. The relationship has been more than company/client as we consider AA Laquis a part of our school and we thank them for assisting us in our development, and for being there in the very beginning in 2010.”
