Introduction to Sime Darby Berhad

Background

William Middleton Sime was a 37-year-old Scottish adventurer and fortune seeker. Previously, he has had two failed ventures, namely in import-export business and also in coffee plantations. Henry Darby on the other hand, was a wealthy 50 year old English banker who owned property in Northern Malaya. In October 1910, these two men established Sime, Darby & Co, a fledgling player in the lucrative rubber industry. Years later, the company then expanded its business by cultivating palm oil and cocoa. Since then, the company has been known as the leading multinational conglomerate.
