Ching Bee Trading Corporation

About Ching Bee Trading Corporation

The organization was established as a sole proprietorship in Tabaco, Albay in the 1940s by its founder, Mr. Lim Cheng Bee, for the purpose of maximizing the abundant supply of abaca and copra in the Bicol Region. For two (2) decades, the company secured its presence in the trading of abaca and copra with local suppliers and buyers.

In the 1960s, Mr. Lim was joined by colleagues and business partners, and the company was subsequently incorporated as Ching Bee Trading Corporation. In 1967, the company started exporting abaca to Japan and the United States of America (USA). Later on, it also tapped into the European market. Today, Ching Bee is known as the biggest trader of abaca in the Philippines and in the world.

Ching Bee primarily serves the fiber needs of its affiliate company, Specialty Pulp Manufacturing, Inc. (SPMI), of which Ching Bee holds majority ownership. SPMI exports abaca pulp mostly to Europe, Japan, and the USA. Ching Bee also maintains holdings in companies engaged in the manufacture of coconut and vegetable oil and desiccated coconut.

To date, the second and third generations of Lim family members are currently involved in the companies belonging to the Ching Bee Group.

To meet the demand for abaca, Ching Bee expanded its operations and established buying stations or branches in strategic locations in the country. It currently has branches in Tabaco City, Albay in Luzon; Baybay City, Leyte in the Visayas; and Davao City in Mindanao.
