Johor Corporation was established as a public enterprise and a statutory body via Johor Enactment No. 4 1968 (as amended under Enactment No. 5, 1995). As a State-owned Conglomerate, Johor Corporation through its Group of Companies is involved in core businesses including Palm Oils, Specialist Healthcare, Food & Restaurant Services, Property, Oil & Gas, Hospitality and Entrepreneur Businesses.
