Peruvian Amazon Company

The Peruvian Amazon Company, also called the Anglo-Peruvian Amazon Rubber Co, was a rubber boom company that operated in Peru in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Based in Iquitos, it became notorious for the ill treatment of its Indigenous workers in the Amazon Basin, whom its field forces treated as slaves. The company's practices were exposed in 1912 by the investigative report of British consul-general Roger Casement and an article and book by journalist W. E. Hardenburg.

The Arana Brothers company, who had sought capital in London, were fused with the PAC in 1907. Peruvian rubber baron Julio César Arana ran the company in Peru. British members of the board of directors included Sir John Lister-Kaye, 3rd Baronet.

The company operated in the area of the Putumayo River, a river that flows from the Andes to join the Amazon River deep in the tropical jungle. This area was contested at the time among Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and it was inhabited by numerous Indigenous people. Some of the Indigenous populations that were effected by the Peruvian Amazon Company during the Putumayo genocide include the Huitoto, Bora, Ocaina, and Andoque tribes.
