About Us
In 1938, Mr. Tang Shew Kai established Yat Ming Medicine Co. after he had immigrated to Singapore from China the previous year. Relying on his family’s connection with many medicine manufacturers in China, he was able to import medical products directly from China and Hong Kong to Singapore. Before then, the market saw limited varieties of medical products. The new imports quickly helped to fulfil consumers’ needs at the time. Yat Ming rapidly grew to be a major supplier to medicine shops in Singapore and Malaya. Yat Ming subsequently took on more products as its sales channels grew. Amongst them were famous brands like Kyushin and Salonpas from Japan and Wai Yuen Tong from Hong Kong. Business activities were later extended to Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam. Yat Ming soon established itself as a responsible supplier of quality medicinal products with good service and high integrity.
Now in operation by its second generation, Yat Ming is upholding its value on quality and service. The company actively seeks new medicinal and health products to fulfil the needs of consumers. Quality, safety and efficacy are what the company emphasises in its products. Yat Ming is in close contact with regulators so as to be up-to-date on the latest health policies and developments. Mr. David Tang, the company’s managing director, is an active delegate in the ASEAN Consultative Committee on Standards and Quality Product Working Group. He helps facilitate in the development of ASEAN standards for traditional medicine and health supplements. With a good understanding of the regulations, Yat Ming can ensure that the products it carries meet with the proper regulations and standards.
Yat Ming is also into promoting the use of traditional medicines. In 2014, Prof. Zhu Wenjun joined the management team of Yat Ming. He has since developed several new products using traditional herbal ingredients with new formulations and employed modern delivery systems. Innovation continues to be part of the company’s path to growth.
