Etymology

Amoy (廈門) is an English romanisation of the Min Nan pronunciation of the name of the city in Fujian province, China known in Mandarin as Xiamen.

History

In 1908, Tao Fa, the predecessor of the company, was founded in Xiamen for producing soy sauce and soy milk. In 1928, Amoy was set up in Hong Kong.

In a 1947 advertisement, the company was named as Amoy Canning Corporation, Ltd. (Chinese: 香港淘化大同公司; Cantonese Yale: Hēunggóng Tòufa Daaihtùng Gūngsī) with factory in Ngau Tau Kok and head office at Bonham Strand in Sheung Wan.

In 1977, Sime Darby group acquired 50% of Amoy Canning.[1]

In 1980, Hang Lung Development acquired 63% of Amoy Canning Corp. (HK) Ltd[2]

In 1983, fifty percent of Amoy Food was acquired by Pillsbury.[3]

In 1987, a manufacturing plant was set up in Tai Po Industrial Estate in Tai Po.

In 1988, it was reported to be the largest soy sauce maker in the area, producing 6,000 tonnes a year.[3]

In 1991, Amoy became wholly owned by the French dairy products company Danone.

On 12 January 2006, Danone sold the company to Ajinomoto of Japan.

In 2013, Amoy frozen food's factory in China was moved to Tai Po Industrial Estate in Hong Kong.

In 2018, Ajinomoto sold the company to CITIC Group of China.[4]

In Europe, Amoy products are distributed by Kraft Heinz.[5]
