The Lie’s Family business started in the early 30’s in Shanghai, China. Their business has grown immensely throughout the years, now owning Tai Fung Trading Co., Newpower Group and Chong Lap. The companies combined are involved in trading, joint-venture manufacturing, investment and consultancy. In particular, in terms of the healthcare industry, Tai Fung Trading Co. pioneered with the introduction of western pharmaceuticals in China during the late 70’s, which marked the propagation of the undeveloped market at the time. Today, Tai Fung has exclusive distribution rights to a number of major international pharmaceuticals; the success owing to long-standing relationships with foreign business partners such as Biotest Pharma, which has been represented by the company for over 20 years. With the strong basis Tai Fung established, Chong Lap maintains the reputation for excellence in the field, while introducing fresh approaches to managing the business. At the same time, Chong Lap also attaches great importance to market development apart from Hong Kong and Macau. In 2012, the Taiwan branch of Chong Lap was formally opened and successfully obtained the exclusive distributorship of Echosens SA in Taiwan subsequently.
