Hocheng Philippines Corporation (HPC) was founded in 1995 as the demand for HCG increased tremendously not only in Greater China but around the world.

This marked a significant stride toward realizing the vision of a brand that caters to the diverse needs of consumers. Subsequently, in 1997, a sprawling 10-hectare manufacturing hub was established in the First Cavite Industrial Estate (FCIE), seamlessly complementing the two existing cutting-edge production facilities in China. This strategic expansion served as a conduit for the convergence of world-class European technology – celebrated and revered by millions – with the inherent Filipino spirit of creativity and ingenuity.

In a remarkably short span, propelled by an unwavering commitment to excellence and a resolute dedication to customers, HCG soared to unprecedented heights, commanding an impressive market share exceeding 55%.
