Genting Group

The Genting Group is headquartered in Wisma Genting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Group comprises the holding company Genting Berhad (MYX: 3182), its listed subsidiaries Genting Malaysia Berhad (MYX: 4715), Genting Plantations Berhad (MYX: 2291), Genting Singapore PLC (SGX: G13 ), as well as its wholly-owned subsidiary Genting Energy Limited.

Founded in 1965 by the late Malaysian entrepreneur Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, Genting Berhad is chaired by Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay. As of 1 March 2025, Dato' Sri Tan Kong Han was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), marking the first time the company has appointed a CEO from outside the founding family.

The group has developed, operated and marketed casinos and integrated resorts in different parts of the world, including the Americas, Australia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and the United Kingdom. The Group's pioneer integrated resort is Resorts World Genting, formerly known as Genting Highlands Resort. The main attractions of the resort are its casino, theme park, concert shows, food & beverage and retail shopping.

From its initial leisure and hospitality activities, the Genting Group has expanded and diversified into other activities including plantations, properties, power generation, oil and gas, life sciences and biotechnology.

The Group employs about 54,000 people worldwide and have over 18,000 hotel rooms and 243,200 hectares of land bank for plantation and property development.

Genting Berhad is principally an investment holding and management company. The company is headquartered in Malaysia. It is listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia, with a market capitalisation of RM14.9 billion (about USD3.5 billion) as at 31 December 2024.

In December 2006, Genting Group won the bid in obtaining one of two Singapore casino licences to build an integrated resort, named Resorts World Sentosa, under Genting Singapore. The project requirements included hotel, gambling, leisure facilities, convention space and retail.

In 2007, Genting Plantations ventured into biotechnology to develop synthetic genomic processes and naturally occurring processes for alternative energy resources through an equally owned joint venture with "Synthetic Genomics".
