| | | | | | Extra info | Eddie Hin Ltd was a soft drinks manufacturing company founded by Eddie Wong, and his then future brother-in-law Hin Young in 1949. The company grew to be a household name in Lautoka and indeed the whole of the western part of Viti Levu. In 1952, Eddie Hin Ltd was also appointed distributor of Tip Top ice cream in the west. When Goodman Fielder purchased the Tip Top factory in Suva and began making Tuckers ice cream, Eddie Hin Ltd carried on as its distributor. With the death of Eddie Wong in 1992, Eddie Hin Ltd continued under the leadership of Professor Jilnaught Wong of Auckland University.
In May of 2004, Eddie Hin sold its soft drinks manufacturing business to the Tappoo Group of Companies. When Eddie Hin’s ice cream distribution agreement ended in 2010, this property was also sold to the Tappoo family. |
