Together we serve over 17,000 customers in the region and beyond. Through our more than 50 subsidiaries and associate companies we employ over 3,500 people.
We believe in doing good business, acting with integrity and respecting the people we serve, our own staff and the wider community. Our financial and organisational stability enables us to sustain the entrepreneurial spirit of our founders, always being prepared for new opportunities. Our state-of-the-art regional infrastructure facilitates cost-effective access to the diverse markets in South East Asia quickly and efficiently.
We form part of a global family enterprise that dates back to a trading partnership formed in Hong Kong in 1895. Beyond the region we are closely connected to a network of
