About Us
Our History
The story of Sin Hwa Dee begins with our founder, Mr. Chng Kee. After working for one of Singapore’s leading sauce manufacturers since the early 1950s, he established Sin Hwa Dee in the 1970s with a vision to create superior products that combine the very best of traditional knowledge and manufacturing expertise with the finest ingredients. Staying true to this vision has been the foundation of our growth. While we remain a truly local enterprise, today, the company is recognized regionally and internationally as a leading producer of high-quality sauces and mixes that offer outstanding quality and value for money.
Today
Sin Hwa Dee has grown from a humble outfit to an international organization. It has widened its product range from basic soya and oyster sauces to include pre-mixes like Kung Bo sauce, Black Pepper sauce, Laksa paste, Hainanese Chicken Rice Mix, etc. Technologically, it has advanced from traditional manufacturing processes to high-tech machinery and equipment, housed in a large modern factory of 90,000 square feet. It has achieved international production and quality standards, certified by HACCP, ISO 9001 and BRC. Its market has grown from Singapore to more than 30 countries worldwide, consisting of major retail chains, international fast-food chains, restaurants, hotels, major airlines, and caterers.
Our Vision
To be a global leader in Asian sauces by creating innovative, convenient & healthy products and, at the same time, improving the consumers' quality of life.
"I always had a clear vision of what I want to do in the next 5 to 10 years and where our company should be heading. We have relentlessly pursued this vision with sound decisions, plans and actions.
I believe that it is only by adding value to our products and customers and constantly improving ourselves through innovation and modern technologies that we can become a global leader in Asian sauces while enhancing the quality of lives of our consumers worldwide."
