STORY OF JLF

JLF traces its roots to 2008, when it was founded by Dr. John Lathis as an import–export company, trading rice to Africa and coal from Indonesia. What began as a modest trading venture quickly earned a reputation for reliability and integrity, laying the foundation for larger ambitions.

​

Throughout the 2010s, JLF diversified into finance, healthcare, education, and manpower services, steadily evolving from a single-sector enterprise into a trusted multi-sector partner. By the 2020s, the Group expanded into gold and diamond trading, biomedical equipment solutions, and the FMCG market, driven by a vision to seize opportunities across global industries.

​

In 2025, under the leadership of Dr. Lagin J. Lathis, JLF was restructured as a parent holding company, bringing together all its business verticals under one unified banner: the JLF Group. This marked the beginning of a new era: a family-driven conglomerate with a modern global outlook.

​

At the heart of JLF are values that have guided its growth: trust, excellence, innovation, sustainability, and a family legacy. These principles shape every decision, every partnership, and every venture the Group undertakes.

​

Looking ahead, JLF is committed to the sustainable development of future industries. With upcoming initiatives like the KK Gen Energy Project, innovations in biomedical technology, and expansion into IT, consultancy, and global trade, JLF is focused on creating long-term value for clients, partners, and communities worldwide.
