Tai Ping was founded in British Hong Kong in 1956 by brothers Lawrence and Horace Kadoorie and a group of international friends with the noble aims of developing industry and providing employment to migrant workers. While a small textile presence existed in the colony before Tai Ping, it was entrepreneurial Chinese refugees who modernised the industry with advanced equipment and expertise.
