REMGRO LIMITED. JSE: REM

Background of Remgro
Remgro Limited’s history stems back to the 1940s, when the Voorbrand tobacco company (forerunner to Rembrandt) was established by Dr Anton Rupert in South Africa. With significant capital resources, the company steadily started diversifying into other sectors and began to gain an international foothold. Remgro itself was incorporated in 2000 following a major restructuring of the Rembrandt Group. Today, Remgro is an investment holding company with shares for sale in the Diversified Industrials sector of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), with a vast portfolio that includes investments in food, liquor and home care; banking; healthcare; insurance; financial; industrial; infrastructure as well as media and sport.
The group currently includes more than 30 investee companies. The group has achieved the buy in of notable multi-million rand investees such as Unilever South Africa, RCL Foods, RMB Holdings, Mediclinic and Total South Africa.
Their major profitable activities are focused mainly on the management of investments and the provision of support rather than being involved in the day-to-day management of business units of investees.
Remgro‘s subsidiaries that are not wholly owned include listed companies with independent boards of directors on which this company has non-executive representation. Non-subsidiary investments are made up of both listed and unlisted companies that are not controlled by Remgro and which are mostly associated companies due to significant influence and board representation.

Working with its decentralized investment philosophy, Remgro achieves growth in its investees through active strategic, managerial or financial support or creating an environment conducive to deal-making.

continues to have large capital resources which allow it to buy majority shares in a wide variety of companies.Remgro’s major investments in the food, liquor, home care and healthcare industries have delivered solid performance recently, but the challenging economic and trade conditions in South Africa saw subdued earnings for the insurance, industrial, infrastructure and media and sports investments, putting Remgro share price under pressure.
