A significant turning point occurred in 1984 when Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun acquired Berjaya Kawat Berhad from Broken Hill Proprietary, Australia and National Steel & Iron Mills, Singapore. This acquisition marked the expansion of the company’s portfolio into the steel and manufacturing industries.
The year 2000 saw Berjaya Kawat Berhad renamed as Berjaya Industrial Berhad. Subsequently, in 2002, Berjaya Industrial Berhad was rebranded as Reka Pacific Berhad, a move that indicated its evolving business structure.
A milestone was reached in 2005 when BCorp assumed the listing status of Berjaya Group Berhad, a significant restructuring that marked the formal establishment of BCorp as the group’s flagship company. This reorganisation allowed the company to better position itself for further growth and expansion in its diversified business sectors.
Today, BCorp stands as a diversified conglomerate with interests in a wide array of sectors, showcasing the company’s strategic growth and commitment to creating long-term value for its stakeholders.

The Berjaya Corporation Berhad group of companies’ history dates back to 1984 when our Founder, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun acquired a major controlling stake in Berjaya Industrial Berhad (originally known as Berjaya Kawat Berhad and now known as Reka Pacific Berhad) from the founders, Broken Hill Proprietary Ltd, Australia and National Iron & Steel Mills Limited, Singapore. The shareholding change also resulted in a major change in the business, direction and the dynamic growth of a diversified conglomerate under the flagship of Berjaya Corporation Berhad (“BCorp”).
In October 1988, following a major restructuring, Berjaya Group Berhad (then known as Inter-Pacific Industrial Group Berhad) became the holding company of Reka Pacific Berhad.
Inter-Pacific Industrial Group Berhad (formerly known as Raleigh Berhad) was incorporated in 1967 as a bicycle manufacturer. In 1969, the Company gained official listing on Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”).
BCorp assumed the listing status of Berjaya Group Berhad on the Main Board of Bursa Securities upon the completion of the group restructuring exercise in October 2005 and the listing of the new shares on 3 January 2006.
