Centuries of Heritage – The History of Man Shun Cheong
During the late Qing Dynasty, the founder of the company, Chen Qiunan 陳秋南先生, migrated from Fujian to Shantou, leveraging the local advantages to start a trading business with a modest capital of only ten thousand dollars 一萬元, focusing on seafood, groceries, and dried fruits. By making use of port transportation, he was able to trade with Shanghai, Tianjin, Wenzhou, and other places.
The second-generation successor, Chen Chuan Ru 陳川如老先生, born in 1910, took over the family business and at the age of 18, decided to establish Man Shun Cheong independently, with the company's name reflecting the aspiration for smooth 順風順水 and prosperous business 昌盛繁榮operations.
Man Shun Cheong was founded in 1928 at No. 10 Chaoyi Street, Shantou City, Guangdong Province. Upholding the principles of the first generation, it emphasized integrity and significantly improved the quality of goods. Its product range included high-grade seafood, groceries, and dried fruits. Due to its commitment to integrity and reputation among peers, its business grew rapidly in less than 10 years. At its peak, it purchased land in Shantou to build warehouses and owned two cargo ships for exporting goods to Hong Kong.
In 1956, Mr. Chen Chuan Ru 陳川如老先生left the base in Shantou and arrived in Hong Kong. In the same year, Man Shun Cheong opened its business at the attic of No. 27 Connaught Road West, Sheung Wan. His wife and third-generation descendants, Mr. Chen Wei Song 陳為松先生, and Chen Chuan Ru's second and third brothers arrived in Hong Kong in 1958.
Since its establishment in Hong Kong, Wan Shun Cheong has undergone several relocations and expansions. In 1990, it acquired the entire building at No. 199 Wing Lok Street , Sheung Wan, as Wan Shun Cheong Building 上環永樂街199號全幢為萬順昌大廈. In 2018, the third and fourth-generation successors of Man Shun Cheong smoothly transitioned, leveraging the good brand reputation and peer reputation earned through nearly 100 years of hard work. The new generation strives for excellence, vigorously expanding its business scope, entering overseas and retail markets, and leading the Man Shun Cheong brand to new heights.
