+ Overview

JACCAR Holdings was created in 1984 to become the private holding company of Jacques de Chateauvieux, the Chairman of BOURBON.  Through buying shares over the last 25 years, JACCAR Holdings now holds 25% of BOURBON.

In 2001, when Bourbon decided to focus its portfolio of businesses on marine services, selling its sugar and retail activities, JACCAR Holdings started to diversify its portfolio, adding investments in fishing, shipbuilding and in Vietnam and China, either through direct investments or through private equity funds.  In Vietnam, JACCAR developed its own team to manage all investments in this countrywhile relying on third party asset managers in China.

JACCAR Holdings, incorporated in Luxembourg, has decided to structure its businesses around marine and offshore activities, including shipbuilding, ship owning and operating, in property development in Reunion Island, through CBo Territoria, as well as investments in emerging markets, specifically Vietnam and China.

In line with its decision to list JACCAR Holdings on a stock market, the company issued a pre-IPO convertible in January 2010, which potentially gives new shareholders access to its equity.

In managing its portfolio of companies and assets, JACCAR Holdings seeks to support fully empowered managers to achieve their strategies for which we inspire growth to deliver value.
