The story of Yip’s Chemical Holdings Limited (Hong Kong Stock Code: 408), formerly known as Hang Cheung Hong, begins in 1971 in a tiny store of 40 square feet selling thinner in Sai Wan, Hong Kong. From these humble beginnings, the business has grown into one of the largest chemical companies in the world. Yip’s Chemical Holdings expanded gradually, until in 1991, it became a chemical enterprise listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Over half a century, the Group has focused on the production, sales and marketing of chemical products, including architectural and industrial coatings, inks, resins and lubricants. In addition, the Group has invested significantly in upstream acetate solvents through Handsome Chemical, the largest producer of acetate solvents in the world and an associate of the Group.

Headquartered in Hong Kong, Yip’s Chemical has several production plants in Mainland China, and a team of staff totaling around 2,500. The Group’s core businesses have established leading positions in China with an extensive manufacturing and sales network covering all major provinces and cities across China. Its inks subsidiary, Yip's Ink & Chemicals Group owns “Bauhinia Variegata” ink brand, which ranks as the No.1 ink company in China. It also operates Hang Cheung Coatings, a leading specialised industrial coatings company, and Da Chang Polymers, a top specialised resin company. The Group's coatings subsidiary, Bauhinia Advanced Materials Group, known for its well-known brands such as “Bauhinia” and “Camel”, is recognised as a leading architectural coatings company. Additionally, it owns Yip's Lubricant, a top lubricants company that operates “Hercules” and “Pacoil” brands.

We aim to leverage on Yip’s Chemical's stable shareholder base, the position as a listed company in Hong Kong, and the strong reputation and experience in the chemicals industry to continuously build and invest in strong businesses in niche markets and grow Yip’s platform.
