Lam Hong Group was founded by Mr See Cheow Song in 1946, after World War II.
The company was incorporated as Lam Hong Company, and started business trading in metal and recycled goods, operating at 101 Sungei Road.
Under the leadership of founder Mr See CS, Lam Hong grew rapidly and subsequently moved to a factory along Beach Road. Located right at the mouth of Kallang Basin and Singapore River, Lam Hong was well positioned to provide Ship Supplies to Vessels and Boats docking at the river.
The company then shifted it’s focus to supplying Marine & Offshore equipment, being the first company in Singapore to import and supply Wire Ropes, Anchors, Anchor Chains and other related hardware and equipment.
With the Singapore Government’s push to develop the Kallang River, Lam Hong tendered for a new factory building at Tanjong Rhu. The company was successfully awarded the prime site and moved from its Beach Road location to Jalan Benaan Kapal, still fronting the Kallang River, from the other end.
Leveraging on its great factory location, Lam Hong further expanded its business to include being a Ship Chandler.
