Founded in 1936 in Singapore, Woh Hup embarked on a culinary mission fueled by a passion for Asian flavours: to curate a collection of Asia's most revered sauces and condiments. Their goal is to transform these time-honoured flavours into modern classics, elevating everyday meals in every home. 
Leong Chee Kang, Chief Executive Officer, Woh Hup Singapore shared his excitement about this milestone: "Celebrating 88 years is a remarkable achievement for Woh Hup. Our journey from a noodle maker in Chinatown, Singapore has evolved into creating a recognised brand known for oyster sauce and convenient sauces. This transformation is a testament to our dedication, innovation, and passion for delivering the highest quality products. We are proud of our heritage and committed to continuing our legacy of excellence, bringing the classic flavours of Asian cuisine to kitchens around the world."
A Legacy of Quality and Innovation
Woh Hup initially focused on crafting delectable food sauces that captured the rich and diverse flavours of Asian cuisine. By the 1980s, Woh Hup had established itself as the leading producer of oyster sauce in Singapore, a testament to its dedication and expertise. Today, Woh Hup sauces are enjoyed in over 20 countries across continents, including India, Europe, America, Australia, and the Middle East.
Recognition of Heritage and Excellence
Woh Hup's legacy was further solidified when its Oyster Sauce and Dried Noodles were featured at the prestigious "50 Made in Singapore Products" exhibition in 2015, organised by the National Heritage Board (NHB). This national showcase celebrated Singapore's manufacturing achievements in its 50th anniversary year, highlighting Woh Hup's significant contribution to Singapore's culinary heritage. Woh Hup was also awarded the Top Influential Brand in Singapore in 2018 and 2023 in the Sauces category. This prestigious accolade underscores the brand's status as a key player in the market and a trusted name among consumers.
