75 years and still counting

"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out."– Robert Collier

Yingko is the land where Taiwan ceramics was established – a land where 200 years of ceramic history paved the way for worldwide recognition. HCG Corp. recently brought Yingko to modern Metro Manila as it celebrated 75 years of worldwide innovation and its 10th anniversary in the Philippines by presenting Yingko at the Shang. Ballet Philippines gave a breathtaking performance as actors chosen by HCG shared their talents with their comic-relief reenactment of the history of HCG. It was an evening of camaraderie and memories, graced by the presence of Hocheng Philippines Corp. (HPC) chairman Roger Chiu.

Congratulations on your 10th anniversary in the Philippines and your 75 years in the international market!
