(Hong Kong, 18 December 2024) – Chen Hsong Holdings Limited (“Chen Hsong” or the “Group”; HKEX: 00057), one of the world’s largest injection moulding machine manufacturers, is pleased to announce that Ms. Chiang Lai Yuen, Chairman and CEO of the Group and Executive Director of the Chiang Chen Industrial Charity Foundation, has won the “CAPITAL CEO X Entrepreneur of the Year 2024 – Entrepreneur of the Year” award. The accolade is a testament to the recognition of Ms. Chiang’s efforts and achievements in leading Chen Hsong to continuously innovate products, services and business models over the years.
Ms Chiang Lai Yuen said at the award presentation ceremony, “Firstly, I would like to thank the conference and the judges for recognizing me, and in the meantime, I would like to thank our customers, colleagues and business partners from all over the world for their strong support to the development of the Chen Hsong over the years. I would also like to thank my father, Dr Chiang Chen, who is in heaven now. It was his words and teachings that cultivated in me the values of perseverance, boldness and integrity in my career, which have benefited me throughout my life.
Today’s award has made me realize that society has very high expectations of corporations in terms of social responsibility. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you that one of the major shareholders of Chen Hsong is the Chiang Chen Industrial Charity Foundation. My father established the foundation in 1991, and through the foundation, a portion of the dividends paid by listed companies each year is used to subsidize Chinese scholarships, training classes, and research and technology projects. 34 years later, the foundation has quietly donated close to half a billion dollars.
This year marks the 66th anniversary of Chen Hsong. Despite our long history, we continue to innovate. Last year, we set up the Center for Innovation and Advanced Research at Greater Bay Area, and we have been investing more in the technology needs of our customers in the new energy automotive, home appliance, and 3C electronics industries in the areas of modified materials, lightweighting, and environmental protection. This year, we also established the Intelligent Industry Department and launched the ‘iChen Smart Family’, including the ‘iChen Cloud’ and the ‘iChen Factory’, which further enhances Chen Hsong’s intelligent industry and has already successfully helped a number of customers’ factories to successfully launch the whole set of intelligent supporting production line and big data management, which greatly reduces the difficulties of customers’ management.
As the CEO of Chen Hsong, I will continue to lead the Group’s steady development, following the strategy of ‘Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay Area‘ and the direction of the ‘14th Five-Year Plan’, in order to be based in the GBA, radiate to the whole country, and expand globally”.
