Burns Philp (properly Burns, Philp & Co, Limited) was once a major Australian shipping line and merchant that operated in the South Pacific. When the well-populated islands around New Guinea were targeted for blackbirding in the 1880s, a new rush for labour from these islands began. James Burns and Robert Philp purchased several well-known blackbirding ships to quickly exploit the human resource in this region, and Burns Philp entered the slave trade. The company ended its involvement in blackbirding in 1886. In later years the company was a major player in the food manufacturing business. Since its delisting from the Australian Securities Exchange in December 2006 and the subsequent sale of its assets, the company has mainly become a cashed up shell company. It is wholly owned by Graeme

  • Burns Philp & Co., Ltd. est une entreprise australienne fondée en 1882 par James Burns et Robert Philp, commerçants établis à Townsville et Sydney. Grâce au dynamisme de ses dirigeants et à l'appui des autorités (gouvernements de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud puis de l'Australie fédérée), Burns Philp devient rapidement la première société de commerce et de transport du Pacifique Sud, et un des principaux agents de l'impérialisme britannique dans la région. Au début des années 1890, elle se tourne également vers les assurances pour devenir une des principales sociétés australiennes. (fr)
