Hsin Tung Yang ( Chinese: 新東陽; Wade–Giles: Hsin1Tung1Yang2; lit. 'new horizons') is a food service company and retailer [2] based in Taipei, Taiwan.
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). [3] In recent years the company has expanded production into dried mullet roe and various Chinese tea snacks.[ citation needed] In addition to its retail stores, the company also manages service areas and stores in airports. [4] As of 2011, the company has over 70 retail stores in Taiwan. [3]
Hsin Tung Yang was founded by Mai Hsin-Fu [5] and first started operations in 1967 [6] 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). [4] [7] In 1979, Hsin Tung Yang USA was established in San Francisco, California, USA. [3]
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. [1] 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. [1] In 1991, the company was publicly listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. [4] [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]
