Hsin Chong Group Holdings Limited (新昌營造集團有限公司; sehk: 0404) or simply Hsin Chong (新昌) was a major construction company in Hong Kong.
History
It was established in 1939 in Hong Kong as Hsin Chong & Company by Godfrey Yeh Kan-Nee and Chien Chu-Keng.
Yeh was a well-established builder in Shanghai before moving to Hong Kong in 1937. His son Geoffrey Yeh Meou-Tsen worked with him from 1955.
Chu-Keng's son Philip worked briefly at Hsin Chong before starting his own firm. [1]
The company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1991.
In the late 1990s, Hsin Chong was involved in a scandal over short-piling. As a result, the company was banned from bidding for government contracts between 1999 and 2002.[2]
