History

Johann Rupert founded Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A. when he spun off the international assets of Rembrandt Group Ltd. (now Remgro Limited), a South Africa-based company founded in the 1940s by his father, Anton Rupert.{{Sfn|Remgro|2011}}{{Sfn|International Directory of Company Histories|2007}} The division, originally founded on 5 March 1979 as Intercontinental Mining and Resources S.A., was later renamed IMR Group S.A. on 31 March 1987 and finally Richemont S.A. on 17 August 1988. The spin-off was completed on 20 September 1988. The luxury goods investments of Rembrandt Group combined with Rothmans International formed the initial group of Richemont subsidiaries.{{cite web|last1=Richemont|title=History, including Significant Investments and Divestments|url=https://www.richemont.com/about-richemont/history-including-significant-investments-and-divestments.html|access-date=7 January 2017|archive-date=26 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151126002853/https://www.richemont.com/about-richemont/history-including-significant-investments-and-divestments.html|url-status=dead}}{{Sfn|Domisse|Esterhuyse|2009|pp=322-324}}
