Hello everyone, this will be my first company introduction I hope I have not forgotten anything important and can introduce you to an interesting company.
Today it is about the Jardine Matheson Holding / BMG507361001 /$J36 (+0.72%)
The company
[1] Jardine Matheson is a highly diversified Asian conglomerate with unrivaled experience in the region. The company comprises a broad portfolio of market-leading businesses whose operations are focused on the increasingly affluent consumers of the Asian region.
Its main business is in China and Southeast Asia where its subsidiaries and related businesses benefit from the extensive experience, expertise and long-standing relationships from its network in the region.
[2] On July 1, 1832, as a result of a meeting between William Jardine and James Matheson, a Scottish merchant from Sutherland, the company was named Jardine, Matheson & Co. Incorporated.
In 1834, the first shipload of Chinese tea was shipped to England. In those years they also traded silk which was shipped to England and on the way back opium was shipped to China. In 1872 the company withdrew from the opium trade.
Today, the holding company has over 400,000 employees and consists of a large number of companies. In the following, I will list the most important holdings.
