ESTABLISHING OUR LEGACY
1978 – 2000
JPG was incorporated in Malaysia on 21 March 1978 as a private limited company under the name of Yule Catto Plantations Sdn Bhd. The company changed its name to Mahamurni Plantations Sdn Bhd (MPSB) on 12 May 1993.
In 1994, KULIM acquired 100% equity in the company from JCorp. The company changed its name to Johor Plantations Berhad on 12 February 2023 and converted to a public limited company on 20 February 2023.
Even in our emergent years, we held the progressive ideal that the longevity of our company was tied to ensuring sustainable use of resources in order to improve production and reduce costs — this belief is at the core of what we do, so much so KULIM became:
One of the
1ST MALAYSIAN COMPANY
to be an RSPO member and receive a certification

The reinforcement of our identity as an integrated plantation company continued in earnest with KULIM’s acquisition of 100% equity in Mahamurni Plantations Sdn Bhd from JCorp in 1994.

OUR FUTURE GROWTH TRAJECTORY
With the consolidation of our plantation assets and value-added services solely under MPSB’s banner in 2022, we are honing our focus to be one of the market’s standout agri players. We also strengthened our long-term sustainability strategy with our production of renewable energy, signing an MOU with Gas Malaysia.

THE NEW NAME GIVES THE COMPANY A SENSE OF ORIGIN SINCE ITS ESTATES, MILLS AND OPERATIONS ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY LOCATED IN THE STATE OF JOHOR.
2023
On the 20th of February 2023, MPSB was converted to a public limited company, changing its name to Johor Plantations Berhad.
For us, this identity evolution provides us with a sense of origin since most of our plantation assets are located in Johor and reflects our pride as Johor’s highest yield oil palm producer.
As JPG,
WE ARE COMMITTED TO NURTURING THE CLOSE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR JOHOR SMALLHOLDERS, STATE GOVERNMENT REGULATORS AND EXTERNAL PARTNERS
to accurately represent and advance JPG’s position as one of Malaysia’s best palm oil producers. With our challenger mindset and innovative approaches, we believe we are well-positioned to become widely recognised as the region’s leading integrated plantation company whilst tapping into new value creation from the circular economy and furthering our sustainability agenda.
