A Look Inside Our Factory
Our staffs at Sin Boon Kee Coffee Factory hard at work producing Penang’s finest traditional coffee powder.
Sin Boon Kee Factory was founded by Chan Kok Tong in 1944. It started with a single passion, the passion of making quality coffee. Over the years, Sin Boon Kee Coffee Factory has established itself as a trustworthy coffee supplier providing high quality coffee powder to its customers.
Today, Sin Boon Kee Coffee Factory has served Penangites for more than 70 years by producing the finest, aromatic traditional coffee powder.
The Chan family promises to continue the legacy of the founder to make the best traditional coffee powder in Penang with passion.
Sin Boon Kee Coffee Factory is a family business. On January 2019, it has passed on to the fourth generation, Jonathan Chan. He has hoped to improve the brand with the use of modern technologies while preserve the traditional coffee manufacturing. To continue the legacy of Sin Boon Kee, we hoped that everyone is able to enjoy our coffee at home and everywhere else easily besides only get to drink in Kopitiams.
When starting a business, we must first get the support of the people around us. At that time, most of the villagers were Malay. And Mr Chan asked them, how can they support his business? The Malay friends all liked cats, so they suggested Mr. Chan that if his trademark has cats, they will definitely support him.
In addition, the Chinese like things pairing in double numbers, meaning auspicious and prosperity. In order to win everyone’s support, Mr. Chan has combined these ideas and this is also the original meaning and origin of the Sin Boon Kee trademark.
