Who we are
Our brands and products are well known all over PNG and the Pacific.
WR Carpenter Group of Companies consists of seven main companies and fourteen businesses.
The Group is a member of the MBf Holdings Berhad Group. MBf Holdings Berhad Group has operations in Malaysia, Australia, Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Singapore and Thailand.
Today, we are one of Papua New Guinea’s top-four employers with over 6300 employees across our culturally-diverse nation.
We’ve come a long way since we opened our doors in Rabaul in 1912. In 1919, our company expanded into New Guinea, establishing W.R. Carpenter & Co. (Papua New Guinea) Ltd., and began acquiring plantations, stores, and trading stations. The rest is history.
