Biography

Wei Ing-Chou and his three younger brothers, Ying-Chiao, Yin-Chun and Yin-Heng, started Tingyi in 1991.

Tingyi is now one of the largest producers of ready-to-drink tea and bottled water in China. It is also a major supplier to the country's instant-noodle market.

As of 2019, Ing-Chou is no longer a director of Tingyi (Cayman Islands) Holding, but he remains a senior consultant to the company.

His eldest son, Wei Hong-Ming, born in 1978, is now the chairman. His third son, Wei Hong-Chen, born in 1982, is an executive director.

The family's private company, Ting Hsin, sold its 37.17% stake in Taipei 101, Taiwan's tallest building, to Itochu for $665 million in 2018.

About

Ing-Chou's second son, Wei Hong-Fan, started his own bicycle business in 2011.

The senior Wei graduated from a local middle school in Changhua County, central Taiwan, and never went to high school or college.

The family also controls the Dicos fried-chicken chain.
