History

Mr. Ching-Piao Huang founded Hong Da Electrical Hardware in 1957. He spoke fluent Cantonese, Japanese, Mandarin and Taiwanese and had an adventurous heart. C.P. Huang used his language skills to build long-term connections with suppliers around the world and made friends with those who did not become business partners. Many of these relationships continue to flourish today.

Forever curious and excited about new technology and innovation, the spirit of C.P. Huang is reflected in the company core values. Our team is ready to embrace the challenges in the increasingly competitive market and will continue to uphold the values of quality and service in the industry.
