Singapore's 20 largest companies in 2013

Guess which tops the list with unbelievable $141.7billion revenues.

The combined sales of Singapore’s top companies has cracked the S$2 trillion mark according to the Singapore 1000 ranking released  by DP Information Group (DP Info).

The Singapore 1000 ranks the largest and most successful 1,000 companies in Singapore. The financial results of more than 40,000 companies are analysed to arrive at the final list.

The combined sales of Singapore’s corporate leaders increased by an impressive 21.7 per cent, from S$1.98 trillion in 2012 to S$2.42 trillion in
2013. 

Shell Eastern Trading tops the list with $141.7billion revenues and 42.1 billion profits.

According to Ms Chen Yew Nah, Managing Director of DP Info, the S$2 trillion mark is a significant milestone. 

“Cracking the S$2 trillion mark is remarkable given S$1 trillion in sales was only achieved in 2007. And during the last six years the world suffered a
major economic crisis.”

Wilmar, ranked 3rd also raked in more than $2billion profits.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage, ranked 14th, however was the most profitable with $3 billion profits.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
