Hak Yong Co's parent company, Chop Chiap Heng Pte Ltd's
beginnings started from its humble
roots in 1949 as a small provision shop
located along North Bridge Road. After a successful year, Chop Chiap Heng
was incorporated to oversee the import and distribution business
in Singapore.
In the past, North Bridge Road was a prominent hub where traders
and businessmen from all over the region came together for business
dealings. Its location at the north of the Singapore River, was
unique for its entrepot trade and the significant role it played
in Singapore's transformation from a tiny "fishing village"
to a world class trading hub.
Due to Hak Yong Co's strategic location in this
centre of activity, it prospered through the year, leading to its
impressive expansion. Its owner's decision to import additional
commodities other than rice proved to be a forerunner of further
growth for the company. These supplementary products include flour,
sugar, oil and salt, which was in demand amongst the community.
Hak Yong Co owner's astute thinking helps the
company to achieve a continuous strong foothold in the rice import
industry. At the present moment, Hak Yong Co is a key member of
the Singapore General Rice Importers Association.
Hak Yong Co is currently situated at Bizlink Singapore.
Being recognized as one of the established rice importers in Singapore
and with a history that is unparalleled to other companies in the
similar industry, Hak Yong Co will continue to be the leading rice
distributor in Singapore.
