中文簡介

Lam Soon is recognised as a leading name in Southeast Asia, a reputation that has been built up over the group's prolonged and proud history in the region.

Founded in Singapore in the 1930s, Lam Soon first began trading in edible oils, rice and copra. As the company continued to develop and expand, Lam Soon started its oils and fats processing business in Singapore and Malaysia in the late 1940s.

In 1961, Lam Soon began operating in Hong Kong, and the group is now a leading entity in the food supply market. Not only is Lam Soon the major player in edible oils and home care products in Hong Kong, it also owns the largest foreign-owned flour processing enterprise in China, and is the largest can maker in Taiwan and is one of the largest independent Easy Open Ends maker in China.

A major milestone to this success came in 1972, when Lam Soon (HK) Ltd was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In 1991, Lam Soon Food Industries Ltd, one of the subsidiaries of the Lam Soon Group, also listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, contributing to the Lam Soon Group's total asset value of approximately HK$2,000 million today.

Lam Soon's reputation in Hong Kong has been firmly established for over 40 years. Its oil product brands such as "Knife", "Red Lantern", "Vecorn" and "AXE" detergent products have become popular household names.

These achievements are also extended to China, the world's largest potential market. Lam Soon's"Red Lantern Brand" is already well known throughout millions of mainland homes, and the "AXE" line of liquid detergents, powder detergents and other cleansers have successfully penetrated the market.

QUALITY AND SERVICE

For more than half a century, the Lam Soon name has been synonymous with only the highest standards.

At Lam Soon, our assurance to guarantee the best quality is by investing in technology. Our plants in Hong Kong and China are installed with the most advanced equipment and facilities, and we recruit overseas professionals to provide technical consultancy to these installations.

In addition, strict quality control procedures are implemented at every stage of the production cycle from purchasing, packaging, to delivery. This has made our brands of edible oils and detergents the market leaders in Hong Kong, and among the top brands in China.

Lam Soon has received the Hong Kong Q-Mark from The Federation of Hong Kong Industries as a recognition of its supreme product quality. Our product laboratory was also the first in the private sector to receive Laboratory Accreditation from the Hong Kong Government. This recognition of quality extends to China where we have received various accreditations from government quality standards units. The Group's operating plants in Taiwan and Zhuhai for packaging products, Shekou's Flour Mill Plant and Oil Refinery Plant and Hong Kong's Evergreen Oil Plant all achieved ISO9002 Certification. During 1998 to 2000, the "Knife" Brand has also received various Asian awards, including the "Hong Kong Top 10 Brands" from the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong, the 1^st in the "First Grade Peanut Oil" Award from the Guangdong Province Food Industry Organisation, and the "Asian Gold Super Brand Award" from Reader's Digest.

Much emphasis has been placed on human resources in the Lam Soon Group. Talents are carefully chosen to complement the substantial investment in the latest automated production technology and equipment. This ensures our high standards of quality are maintained in the manufacturing process, as well as in the business.
