GENERAL

 

Shriro Pacific Ltd. is a subsidiary company of Tectoria S.A. which is registered in the Cayman Islands.

Formerly, the subject had handled the trading business but transferred to its subsidiary, Shriro (H.K.) Ltd. [Shriro HK] in January 1982.  Since then, the subject has become a holding company of the Shriro Group [Shriro] in Hong Kong.  The current Chairman of the Group is Mr. Mark Stanley Shriro.

Shriro was founded in 1906 by the grandfather of the Group’s present Chairman, Mark Stanley Shriro, as a family business in Northern China.  The first international office was set up in 1927 in Yokahama, Japan.  At that time, Shriro traded in leathers and furs.  Business expanded rapidly after 1945 as its product lines grew and subsidiaries opened in many Southeast Asian countries, Australia and New Zealand.

Today the Group is a truly international manufacturing, marketing and distribution organisation, with over 3,500 employees in 16 countries and regions, and an annual sales turnover of about US$400 million.

Shriro is an international manufacturing, marketing and distribution organisation, with over 3,500 employees in 16 countries and regions.

Shriro is a privately owned business under the direction of one family for over 100 years.

Headquartered in Hong Kong, Shriro has had years experience in Asia and the Pacific Rim since 1906.  The Group markets and distributes a wide range of leading brands, including:-

·         Industrial / Technical — Gelec Lighting, Wembley, Ingersoll-Rand, Jacobsen, Rainbird, Liebherr, Kobelco, Flakt Woods, Viasys, etc.

·         Photo-Imaging — Hasselblad, Imacon, Pentax, Carl Zeiss, Gitzo, etc.

·         Sports — Neil Pryde, Flow, Cabrinha, JP Australia, BIC Sport, etc.

·         Consumer Products — Everdure, Karda, See’s Candies, Casio, GE, Ricola, Bally, etc.

Shriro HK has represented leading photographic brands such as “Hasselblad” and “Nikon” since many decades and played a crucial role in establishing Hasselblad’s leading market position in China.  In 2003, the Shriro Group significantly enhanced its engagement in the photographic sector through the acquisition of Victor Hasselblad AB of Sweden.  In 2004, the Group acquired Imacon A/S of Denmark, a leading supplier of professional scanners and digital backs, a move that firmly launched Hasselblad into the digital age.  At the same time, Shriro HK acquired the business of Hong Kong based Traxler Ltd., a company specializing in the distribution of high end professional photographic equipment.

Today Shriro HK represents and unmatched portfolio of leading brands in the photographic field.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Group is Mr. Vasco Fung King Cheung who is also director of the subject.

On the whole, consider the subject good for normal business engagements.
