Biography

Wei Ying-Chiao and his three brothers, Ing-Chou, 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.

The family also controls the Dicos fried-chicken chain.

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.
