Strong Synergies for Growth



Strengthening its core competencies while expanding aggressively into new directions has been IJM's strategy for growth since its inception.



In 1983, in order to be more competitive against bigger foreign rivals, three of Malaysia's most enterprising construction companies - IGB Construction, Jurutama and Mudajaya Construction - took a bold step when they merged to form IJM. It created a major construction entity overnight, gaining instant credibility and considerable market presence.
Later, synergies for growth were again forged as the Group sought to diversify into other sectors related to its core business. This heralded further expansion into property development and related management services, manufacturing of building products and quarrying.



In time, other businesses were acquired in fields deemed necessary for growth and which could further increase the breadth and depth of IJM's operations.



International Ventures Division focussing on construction, construction management, property development and infrastructure investment provided that dimension. It had a further benefit of fast-tracking IJM's vision to be an international player, with the world now as its market place instead of within the confines of Malaysia.



IJM's diversification strategy also saw the entry into the oil palm plantation business, today a major division of the group.



IJM has enjoyed steady growth and profitability over the years and will maintain this momentum into the 21st Century.
