| Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited (also known as Jardines) is a Hong Kong-based Bermuda-domiciled British multinational conglomerate. Jardines was one of the original Hong Kong trading houses or Hongs that date back to Imperial China, and made their enormous fortune in the opium trade. |
The organizational structure of Jardines has changed fundamentally since its foundation, but the members of the family of Dr William Jardine still have significant influence in the firm.
Henry Keswick, the company's Tai-pan from 1970 (aged 31) to 1975 and the 6th Keswick to be Tai-pan of the company, is chairman emeritus.
