Wilmar International Limited
By Value Invest Asia  •  September 30, 2015

Founded in 1991, Wilmar International Limited was listed via an RTO (reverse takeover) of Ezyhealth Asia Pacific Limited in 2006 at S$0.80 raising US$180 million with a focus on the palm oil business.

Post-2006, Wilmar has grown by leaps and bounds. Today, other than being one of Asia’s largest integrated palm oil players, Wilmar is also one of the largest oilseeds and grains crushers in China, amongst the world’s top 10 raw sugar producers (after acquiring Sucrogen Limited in 2010) and also a leading branded consumer pack producer. At a point in time during the peak of the ‘commodity supercycle’, Wilmar was briefly the company with the largest market capitalization on the Singapore Exchange!

Fun fact: Wilmar probably came about from the combination of its two founding Executive Directors – William Kuok Khoon Hong and Martua Sitorus.
