Company Background
ComfortDelGro is a land transport company operating over 46,000 taxis, buses and rental vehicles around the world. It was formed in 2003 with the merger of the Singaporean transport companies Comfort Group and DelGro. One of ComfortDelGro's major subsidiaries is the London-based city bus operator Metroline. As of March 2014, The Capital Group Companies is ComfortDelGro's largest shareholder, followed by BlackRock. No shareholder owns more than 10%.
With the limited amount of land and population in Singapore, the company has been seeking opportunities beyond the city-state. In 2013, it acquired a portion of London-based FirstGroup's bus business and assets. Later that year, it acquired the Melbourne, Australia-based bus operator Driver Group. Around half of ComfortDelGro's operating profit is generated from businesses in China, Australia, the U.K., Ireland, Vietnam and Malaysia. Kua Hong Pak has been managing director and CEO since the 2003 merger. Prior to joining the group, he was the president and CEO of Times Publishing, where he managed operations across seven countries and economies.
