Historia biográfica
Rubber Plantations Investment Trust was registered in 1909 to acquire investment holdings in tea, rubber, plantation and other companies.

In 1922 Rubber Plantations Investment Trust owned 99,672 acres of land, the majority of which was on the East coast of Sumatra, and some in Travancore (Kerala) and Malaya.
In 1937 it acquired the whole stock of Sumatra Tea Estates Limited (CLC/B/112-146). In 1957 T.R.S. Ltd (CLC/B/112-150) became a wholly owned subsidiary. Rubber Plantations Investment Trust also held half of the capital of G.T.S. Syndicate Limited (CLC/B/112-052).
