Our History
Interlocal Exim Pte Ltd was founded as “Chop Kong Siang” in 1935 with eight shareholders. At that time, it was a retail store selling perishable and non-perishable products in Singapore. Subsequently, in the 1950’s, the company ventured into textile and tobacco before focusing back on retailing in Singapore under the helm of late Mr. Lee Chuan Siak, the company’s founder.
In the 1960’s, the company started liquor wholesale in Singapore and became the largest wholesaler of liquor in Singapore in 1968. By the 1970’s, the third generation of the Lee family was immersed into the business and subsequently took over the business in the 1980’s. The company then expanded the business regionally to Thailand. |
