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. Yip’s Chemical has been dedicated to the chemical industry for more than half a century. The Group’s long-term vision is to become “a leading development platform for chemical businesses” driven by green, innovative technology, professional services and highly respected brands that enrich people’s lives.
