Our history

Jardine Cycle & Carriage ("JC&C") started as the Federal Stores in 1899 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. From a sundries store to selling motor vehicles, JC&C withstood the test of time - through the Great Depression, two World Wars, and the Asian and Global Financial crises. Today, we are a leading Singapore-listed company and a component stock on the Straits Times Index ("STI").

Over the years, JC&C has expanded its presence and is today an investment holding company partnering market leading Southeast Asian companies across six countries and eight sectors. We continue to remain deeply rooted in Southeast Asia where we have the proximity, management expertise, knowledge, relationships and a track record of delivering performance.
