NAME : Hamilton Hung
COMPANY : Chiaphua Industries
POSITION : Chief Marketing Officer & Co-Founder of Germagic
LOCATION : Hong Kong
Someone with a real strength of character is required to change a business’s focus and portfolio. Hamilton Hung, Chief Marketing Officer of Chiaphua Industries and Co-Founder of Germagic, has been with Chiaphua for nearly nine years and has diversified it from manufacturing mainstream appliances to being one of the leading research companies when it comes to antiviral and antimicrobial technology. “I’m definitely a risk-taker, and I don’t take no for an answer,” he says.
It’s been a huge challenge, but Chiaphua has faced a few of those over the last century. Largely still a family business, the company was founded in 1920 trading steel products. When the family migrated to Hong Kong before the start of World War II, they transitioned into steel manufacturing. Due to three years of Japanese occupation, the whole family returned from GuangXi in 1947 and started rebuilding the business from scratch.
