⎯ WHO WE ARE
Fourteen Years of Building Something That Lasts.
Star World Holdings is a 100% Timorese-owned multi-sector enterprise founded in Dili in 2010 by geology engineer and entrepreneur Antoninho J. Guterres Ximenes. From a single electrical installation business started with conviction and no blueprint, the company has grown, division by division, client by client, into one of the most credible and diversified locally-owned business groups in Timor-Leste.
Today, Star World Holdings operates across six distinct business divisions: Logistics & Transport, Electrical Installation, Construction, Mining Exploration, Shophouse Leasing, and Procurement & Supply. Every division is underpinned by the same founding values: professional discipline, transparent operations, and a personal commitment to delivery that only a founder-led company can sustain.
⎯ OUR BUSINESS DIVISIONS
Six Divisions.
One Standard of Excellence.
Each division of Star World Holdings is a standalone professional operation, with its own team, its own clients, and its own track record.
Together they form a business group that serves virtually every sector of Timor-Leste’s growing economy.
01 | Logistics & Transport
Container collection from Tibar Port, last-mile delivery across Dili and Timor-Leste, and real-time shipment tracking via WPCargo. Serving 80+ clients across energy, construction, retail, and institutional sectors for over a decade.
02 | Electrical Installation
The founding division, 16+ years of certified HV/LV electrical installation. 25 professionals. Approved EDTL contractor. Clients include Ministry of Public Works, FFDTL, SECOOP, Timor Gap, and ETO Tower.
03 | Construction
Civil construction through registered subsidiary Tayang HSW, Lda., MOP and MPIE licensed. Erosion protection, retaining structures, road works, and government-contracted civil infrastructure across Timor-Leste.
04 | Mining Exploration
Licensed for metallic and non-metallic mineral exploration. Block 4 marble exploration at Metinaru active. JV with Gengo (Jakarta). Led by a geology-trained founder with deep knowledge of Timor-Leste’s mineral systems.
05 | Shophouse Leasing
Six professionally managed commercial units at Rua Haburas Bairo Pite, Dom Aleixo, all fully rented. 5m×15m each, 24/7 security, water included, maintenance managed by Star World. Waitlist now open.

⎯ WHY STAR WORLD HOLDINGS
What Makes Us Different
from Every Other Operator in Timor-Leste.
100% Locally Owned — Fully Accountable
Star World Holdings is 100% Timorese-owned. When you partner with us, you are working directly with the founder’s company, not a regional branch of a foreign operator, not a subcontractor with no skin in the game. Accountability here is personal, and it shows in how we work.
14 Years of Uninterrupted Operation
Star World Holdings has been operating continuously since 2010, through Timor-Leste’s post-crisis period, its oil revenue era, its first ASEAN engagements, and its current diversification push. That continuity of operation, in a challenging business environment, is itself a credential.
Technical Leadership at the Top
Antoninho’s geology engineering background, combined with four years on the Kitan offshore field, means Star World’s decision-making is informed by genuine technical understanding, not just commercial instinct. That depth shows up in every division, from electrical SOP to mining block evaluation.
Digitally Progressive — WPCargo Tracking
Star World Holdings is one of the first Timorese logistics operators to offer real-time container tracking through WPCargo, giving clients the same visibility that international freight companies provide. This commitment to digital service delivery defines the company’s forward direction.
A Business That Builds the Nation
Every Star World contract supports Timorese employment, Timorese business growth, and Timorese capacity development. The company actively trains local professionals, in electrical engineering, logistics operations, and construction, investing in the human infrastructure Timor-Leste needs to grow sustainably.
Six Divisions — One Professional Standard
Across logistics, electrical, construction, mining, leasing, and procurement, every Star World division operates to the same standard of professionalism, documentation, and client transparency. The client who trusts us with their container trusts us for the same reason as the government that awards us an electrical contract.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Antoninho Junior
Guterres Ximenes
Founder & CEO ⎻ Star World Holdings
A geology engineering graduate who spent four years working on ENI’s Kitan offshore field, one of the Timor Sea’s most technically demanding petroleum operations, Antoninho Guterres Ximenes resigned in 2014 to build Star World Holdings full-time.
What followed was fourteen years of deliberate, disciplined enterprise-building, growing from a single electrical installation business to a six-division holding company serving 80+ clients, employing 25+ professionals, and positioning itself at the frontier of Timor-Leste’s mineral, digital, and commercial economy.
“I did not build Star World Holdings by waiting for the right conditions. I built it by showing up every day, delivering what I promised, and treating every client, from the very first one to the eightieth, as if their trust was the most valuable thing I had. Because it was.” ⎯Antoninho J. Guterres Ximenes
