It was founded by Mr. Tsai Eng Meng's father, Jonathan Shuai Qiang Ng. In 1983, it collaborated with Iwatsuka Confectionery Company Limited, one of the top three Japanese rice cracker makers, to develop rice cracker market in Taiwan. It was practically a charity on Iwatsuka's side, and the only payoff to Iwatsuka was a mere 5% of the common stock of the company but it is now valued at $300M (three times as large as Iwatsuka ()'s market value as of September 2009).〔()〕 In 1987, it became the first Taiwanese operator to apply for the registration of the "Want Want" trademark in China. In 1992, it started its business in Mainland China. In 1994, it commenced its first production plant in Changsha, Hunan.
