GENERAL

 

Ever United Metal Co. Ltd. is a well-established importer and wholesaler of stainless steel sheets.  The subject is jointly owned by Mr. Yip Chiu Pun, holding 83.3% interests, and Mr. Yip King Man, holding 16.7%.  Currently, Yip Chiu Pun is about 73 years old..

Came to Hong Kong from China in 1957, Yip Chiu Pun built up his career by opening Wing Hing Loong Metal Co. in 1958 in partnership with Mr. Lau Yick Fan and Mr. Yip Che Kai who was his cousin.  Wing Hing Loong dealt in brass and copper with a shop located in Ngau Tau Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong.  On 1st April, 1966, the three partners set up Wing Luen Metal Co. which traded in stainless steel products.  In 1972, Wing Luen was split into two firms — Yip Wing Luen Metal Co. and Kai Kee Metal Co.  The former was operated by Yip Chiu Pun while the latter by Mr. Yip Che Kai.

In 1982, Yip Chiu Pun changed his company into a private limited company under the name of Ever United Metal Co. Ltd. which is the subject.

The subject imports products chiefly from Japan and India.  Currently the subject is carrying the following commodities: stainless steel (coil, sheets, tube, pipe, rod, flat bar, angel bar, square bar, channel, coil, wire, bolt and nut), etc.  The subject’s products have been widely used in Hong Kong’s industrial sector.  Some of the subject’s products are re-exported to China and the other Asian countries.  Business is active.

The subject’s registered address is a retailing outlet.  Another retailing out is located at Ash Street, Taikoktsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.  The contact person of the subject is Ms. Carol Yip who is a member of the Yip family.

As the history of the subject is over twenty-nine years in Hong Kong, on the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements.
