Corporate Profile
公司介紹
Tradelink Electronic Commerce Limited was incorporated in 1988 by eleven
renowned corporations with a common vision of promoting the widespread
use of e-Commerce for trade facilitation in Hong Kong. Its founding
shareholders included two of the largest banks in Hong Kong, two container
terminal operators, an air cargo terminal operator and a couple of important
trade associations. The Hong Kong Government, via the Financial Secretary
Incorporated, became its largest single shareholder in 1992. After years of
phenomenal growth, it has become a publicly listed company with shares
traded on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong since 28
October 2005. As of today, TAL Apparel Limited is the Company’s largest
single shareholder.
As a leading provider of e-commerce services for Hong Kong business
community, Tradelink has been providing Government Electronic Trading
Services (GETS) for the trading community since 1997, initially under a 7-year
exclusive franchise (1997-2003) and currently under a licence till 2016 which
Government has expressed its intention to extend by two years till end of 2018.
Over the years, by perfecting its infrastructure and developing services that
meet users’ needs, Tradelink has earned the trust and support of the trading
community; enabling it to stand firmly as the dominant player in the Business-
to-Government e-commerce market.
By virtue of its solid foundation, Tradelink was appointed by the Hong
Kong Government in 2003 to develop and operate the Digital Trade and
Transportation Network (DTTN), as a state-of-the-art electronic platform
connecting stakeholders in the supply chain locally with their overseas partners
for document exchanges. In 2009, upon acquisition by Tradelink, Digital
Trade and Transportation Network Limited (DTTNCo) became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tradelink and thereafter, has been used as a strategic tool for
Tradelink in developing Business-to-Business e-commerce businesses.
In support of GETS business, Tradelink has developed its own infrastructure for
providing digital certification services since 1996. In 2000, Tradelink hived off
its digital certification operations and set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Digi-
Sign Certification Services Limited (Digi-Sign). As the first commercial company
granted status as a Recognized Certification Authority (CA) in Hong Kong, Digi-
Sign has been providing digital certification services as its core business and
subsequently extending to other security solution business to cope with the
rapid development and growing popularity of online banking transactions.
In 2013, Tradelink set up a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Tradelink E-Biz
Secure Solutions Limited (TESS) to take over Digi-Sign’s non-digital certification
related businesses. TESS specializes in the development and provision of
online security solutions and services.
Over the years, leveraging on its market leader position, excellent domain
knowledge and technical expertise, Tradelink has diversified beyond its core
business of providing the best and most comprehensive GETS services to
serve the Hong Kong trading community and successfully expanded to other
arenas, in particular its highly successful security solutions businesses. While
striving for sustainable growth and continued development, Tradelink remains
committed to its original task of servicing the Hong Kong community and its
clients.
