Since 1945, A. Tung Chingco Trading, Inc. has been the exclusive distributor of Ligo products in the Philippines. Mr. Gregory Tung, Sr., known as the founder of A. Tung Chingco Trading made these products known in the Philippines. A fruitful and promising association between A. Tung Chingco and Liberty Gold Fruit Co., Inc. of California, U.S.A. tie-up flourished and made Ligo a market leader in the canned fish industry.

THE DECADE OF GROWTH

In 1980, A. Tung Chingco Trading, Inc. as it continued its dominance in the canned fish market, perceived the need to put up its own cannery to produce Ligo Sardines and Ligo Mackerel locally and meet the growing demand for its products.

To ensure superior quality, A. Tung Chingco Trading, Inc maintained strict quality-control standards throughout all of the company’s operations. Ligo products gained prominence in the Philippine market because of its excellent quality and good taste. Since then, Ligo has become synonymous to “Good Quality.”

THE START OF A NEW ERA

In the mid 1980’s, A. Tung Chingco Trading, Inc., under the stewardship of Mr. Gregory Tung, Jr., strengthened its marketing and manufacturing set-up and ventured into the meat products.

From then on, the company engaged in the development of new canned fish and meat products - Ligo Sardines and Mackerel variants, Ligo Squid, and Ligo Corned Beef.

Ligo has gained worldwide popularity. Now, Ligo Sardines and Mackerel are being exported to the United States, Europe, Asia (Hongkong, Japan, Singapore, Middle and Far East) and the Pacific Rim.
