CK Hutchison Holdings Limited is a Hong Kong–based multinational conglomerate established in June 2015 through the merger of Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa. The company operates across a diversified portfolio of business segments, including ports and related services, telecommunications, retail, infrastructure, and energy. Its broad scope reflects decades of expansion under the founding leadership of business magnate Li Ka-shing, who has since transitioned to a nonexecutive role, with his son Victor Li Tzar-kuoi serving as chairman.
In the ports and related services segment, CK Hutchison is one of the world’s largest container terminal operators. Through its Hutchison Ports division, the company manages over 50 terminals in more than 25 countries, facilitating the movement of goods across Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa. These operations play a critical role in global supply chains by offering container handling, storage, and logistics services to shipping lines and cargo owners.
The telecommunications arm markets mobile and fixed‐line services under the “3” brand in markets such as Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, and Ireland. CK Hutchison’s telecom operations deliver voice, data, broadband, and enterprise solutions to both consumer and business customers. In the retail segment, A.S. Watson Group, a subsidiary of CK Hutchison, is the world’s largest health and beauty retailer by revenue, operating thousands of stores across Asia and Europe under well‐known banners such as Watsons, Superdrug, and Kruidvat.
CK Hutchison also maintains strategic infrastructure investments, ranging from energy and renewables to real estate and airport services. While its former energy exploration and production business was divested in recent years, the company continues to pursue sustainable infrastructure and digital initiatives. With a presence in over 50 countries and a leadership team focused on long-term growth, CK Hutchison aims to leverage its integrated business model to deliver value and resilience amid evolving global markets.
