Tai Hing Hong was established in 1967 by Mr.
Ho Shui and Mr. Fan Fuk Hoi. Wing Chong
Hong run by Mr. Ho Shui was mainly for the
business in land supply of petroleum products.
Because of the expansion in sea supply business
by Peninsula Petroleum Co. Ltd., Wing Chong
Hong obtained the distributorship of petroleum
products in sea supply. Mr. Ho Shui did
not know much about the sea operation and
related business, he invited Mr. Fan Fuk
Hoi to join him for such business. They
established Tai Hing Hong to provide the
sea supply of gas oil and engine oil and
the operation was managed by Mr. Fan Fuk
Hoi. The company business has a stable development
since then. In 1969 Mr. Ho Shui could not
continue to run the business because of
heart attack disease, he transferred all
his shares in Tai Hing Hong to Mr. Fan Fuk
Hoi. Mr. Ho Shui died shortly after that,
Mr. Fan Fuk Hoi continued to use the name
Tai Hing Hong for the company in memory
of his good friend.
The
oil business in Tai Hing Hong has
developed satisfactorily, Tai Hing
Hong has gained support from Hong
Kong Caltex Co. Ltd. and Hong Kong Shell
Co. Ltd. respectively and then become
their oil distributor. Mr. Fan Fuk Hoi
has formally retired in 1994 and handed
over the business to his second generation
successor on 1st April 1994. The second
generation successor expected to diversify
the business development, some customers
also expected Tai Hing Hong to
supply some related products other than
petroleum products at the same time. Incidentally,
Tai Hong Hong got the chance to know the
paint products from Yung Chi Paint
& Varnish MFG. Co. Ltd. and
discovered that the excellent quality
of the products could meet the customer
requirements. Because of its development
potential in Hong Kong market, the promotion
of Rainbow Paints has thus started. Since
1996, Tai Hing Hong has been the
Sole Agent of Yung Chi Paint &
Varnish MFG. Co. Ltd. in Hong
Kong and Macau.
Because
of the rapid expansion in oil and paint
businesses, the company has undergone
the re-organization in 1999, Tai Hing
Hong Oil Co. Ltd.
was established to run the oil supply
business in the same year while Tai
Hing Hong will continue to focus on
paint business.
