Our History

“Our History – Mapping TCI China with the Emergence of China as a Global Economy.”

2002 -Our founders visited China in search of products that they could provide the catering industry in Ireland.  Similar to many international business visitors to China, they saw many opportunities that China could afford to their company.

During a follow-up visit, the directors met with local officials in Qingdao, to establish a Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise (WOFE), office and staff in Qingdao, China. This exporting license enabled TCI China to independently export products out of China, without the need of any Chinese agents.
