Hsin Tung Yang (Template:Zh) is a food service company and retailer[1] based in Taipei, Taiwan.

Overview

Hsin Tung Yang specializes primarily in meat and pork products such as pork sung (肉鬆; i.e. "meat floss"), and bakkwa (肉乾; i.e. pork jerky).[2] In recent years the company has expanded production into dried mullet roe and various Chinese tea snacks.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In addition to its retail stores, the company also manages service areas and stores in airports.[3] As of 2011, the company has over 70 retail stores in Taiwan.[2]

History

Hsin Tung Yang was founded by Mai Hsin-Fu[4] and first started operations in 1967[5] under the name "Hsin Tung Yang Barbeque Meat Company" (新東陽燒臘行), and established itself as a company in 1972 as "Mai's Hsin Tung Yang Food Co. Ltd" (麥氏新東陽食品股份有限公司).[3][6] In 1979, Hsin Tung Yang USA was established in San Francisco, California, USA.[2]

In 1988, the company had expanded to 46 branches in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States, producing over 3600 varieties of food items.[7] In November 1988, the company began construction on a new factory in Ipoh, Malaysia with the intent of relocating some of its food operations there due to rising market costs and market expansion.[7] In 1991, the company was publicly listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.[3][8] In May 2008, the company's pork sung was pulled from supermarket shelves in Hong Kong after the asthma drug clenbuterol was found in its products.[9]

In April 2010, it became one of the first retailers to begin accepting payment using the EasyCard, a contactless smart card already in use on the Taipei Metro system.[10]
