Calbee's Winning Formula: Freshness

calbee2.jpg (17266 bytes)Every year, Four Seas Mercantile Holdings imports millions of potatoes -- equivalent to one-third of Hong Kong's total potato imports -- to slice, deep-fry, flavour and package as Calbee chips.

"Every bag of chips contains about two potatoes," Stephen Tai, Chairman of Four Seas Mercantile Holdings, told the 30 members who joined the Chamber's tour of Calbee's Tseung Kwan O factory on September 15. "Our chips are made from 100 percent fresh potatoes, deep-fried in low-cholesterol oil, and are the only chips manufactured locally, which is why everyone says they taste much fresher."

Dr Tai says to be happy and healthy are two key ingredients for a successful life, which also apply to producing good food products. This is reflected in the name "Calbee," which stands for calcium and vitamin B1.

Four Seas Group produces over 4,000 food products, including seaweed, candies, snacks and confectioneries, instant noodles, beverages, biscuits and cakes, as well as runs the very popular Pokka coffee shops.
