## Company history

CK Hutchison’s history traces back to several predecessor businesses. Li Ka-shing founded Cheung Kong Industries in 1950, initially a plastics manufacturer that later expanded into property. Hutchison Whampoa was formed in 1977 through the merger of Hutchison International and Hongkong and Whampoa Dock; Li gained control in 1979. [16](https://www.ckh.com.hk/en/about/milestones.php?year=1950) [17](https://www.ckh.com.hk/en/about/milestones.php?year=1977) [18](https://www.ckh.com.hk/en/about/milestones.php?year=1979)

The group broadened its international reach through investments including a 43% interest in Canada’s Husky Oil in 1987 and the acquisition of the Port of Felixstowe, completed in stages from 1991 to 1994. It also expanded into mobile telecommunications, including through a major UK 3G licence award in 2000. [19](https://www.ckh.com.hk/en/about/milestones/?year=1987) [20](https://www.ckh.com.hk/en/about/milestones.php?year=1991) [21](https://www.ckh.com.hk/en/about/milestones.php?year=1994) [22](https://www.ckh.com.hk/en/media/press_each.php?id=190)

On 3 June 2015, Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa completed a reorganisation that combined their non-property businesses under CK Hutchison Holdings and separated the property businesses into Cheung Kong Property Holdings. Li Ka-shing retired as chairman in 2018, succeeded by Victor Li. Later telecom milestones include the 2022 merger of Hutchison 3 Indonesia with Indosat and the 2025 completion of the Vodafone UK–Three UK merger, in which CK Hutchison’s telecom holding company retained a 49% stake.
