Chairman Biography

FC Lo, JP

We begin Mr Lo’s long history within the can manufacturing industry when he oversaw the establishment of M.C. Packaging (HK) Limited in 1978; one of the first four plants established in the Tai Po Industrial Estate. Moving on, he established his first business contact in China with the Tsingtao Brewery Corporation in Qingdao city. Later, Mr. Lo went on to catch the attention of the industry when his first Mainland China business venture, M.C. Packaging Limited (Guangzhou) achieved the honor of China's Top Ten Best Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Enterprises for five consecutive years, ranking first in China for two of those years.

Mr. Lo’s greatest success in the business was his export of easy-open ends/lids from Hong Kong to Taiwan, accounting for almost half of the total use of easy-open lids from Taiwan Can manufactures in the 80s. Mr. Lo also made several successful investments in the central and western regions of china, those being Xi’an Kunlun Football and Hubei Football; which were both rated as outstanding foreign-invested enterprises in the province for many years throughout the 90s. Mr. Lo also provided the first beverage can of “Tsingtao Beer, “Jianlibao”, and the first spray cans of Zhongshan Fine Chemical’s “Mizaholing”.
