Our History
Jacob Jebsen and Heinrich Jessen established our roots in Asia at the end of the 19th Century. Their company Jebsen & Co began life in 1895 in Hong Kong. Having established a trading interest in Singapore and Malaysia, Jebsen & Jessen Group of Companies South East Asia was formally incorporated in 1963.

Being in the region through times of great change gives us perspective. We see our clients as partners and plan for the long-term development of relationships. Loyalty amongst our staff creates a substantial resource of wisdom, experience and expertise.
 
Throughout this history the benefits of sustaining an entrepreneurial attitude are in evidence. In our business today flat decision-making structures and a commitment to managerial autonomy pay tribute to our forefathers and enable us to be responsive.

Back in the 1890s Jacob Jebsen and Heinrich Jessen left their hometown of Aabenraa in the Duchy of Schleswig (now part of the Kingdom of Denmark) and began their journey to the East to set up a trading business in Hong Kong. In both families there was a history of trade and seafaring.

Officially established in March 1895, Jebsen & Co started out as agents for the shipping company of Jacob Jebsen’s father. Jebsen’s shipping company was a substantial enterprise, operating 14 steamers in China’s coastal trade.

Together the new partners quickly proved themselves to be capable, passionate and committed entrepreneurs. Bridging two distinctly different cultures, a bond was formed that has strengthened through the triumphs and challenges of the region’s history.

The guiding principle has been to work for a common goal, mindful that, as the Chinese philosopher Mencius explains: “Within the four seas, all men are brothers”.

In January 1909 the partners set up Jebsen & Jessen Hamburg in Germany to coordinate the trading activities and maintain relations between their firms in China and their European principals.

In December 1963, they established a trading interest in Singapore and Malaysia which, over the years, has evolved into a diversified regional business group operating as the Jebsen & Jessen Group of Companies South East Asia.
