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 3,000. Its nationwide sales network covers all major provinces and cities across China. Coating brands operated under the Group are “Bauhinia”, “Camel”, “Aquapro”, “Hang Cheung” for industrial paints and “Da Chang” for resins. The Group also owns brands including “Bauhinia Variegata” for inks, “Hercules” for automotive lubricants and ”PACOIL” for industrial and specialty lubricants.

As part of the transformation to drive future growth, the Group strives to support green living and endeavours to be more environmentally-friendly, service-oriented and end-user focused in future business development and strategic investments.
