CJCHT began as International
C&J and it's core business was shoes.
From the start International C&J was
recognized by its customers as being a company
who always strived for providing the best
customer service. The business quickly grew
and within five years was headed to China.
In 1985 CHT Co. Ltd. was
formed as a sister company that was based
in Hong Kong. As China began to open CHT
Co. Ltd played a valuable role in enhancing
the offering of products (mostly shoes)
to our customers.
The group of companies, International
C&J and CHT, were focused on being the
supplier of choice in China for its customer
base. When most companies were going to
Southern China cities, International C&J
and CHT headed for Shanghai. At the time
the infrastructure in Shanghai was poor,
but the company's leader saw the future
as being based from Shanghai.
In 1987, the first CHT China
office was opened in Putian, Fujian province.
As well as the first joint venture factory
called Sinco
In 1989 the first CHT office was opened in Shanghai. Although the company had other offices in China, Shanghai was and still is the base.
As the company settled into
China it was apparent that the future was
not only to be a buyer, but more a manufacturer
that would continue to provide the services
and needs of our growing customer base.
As China matured over the next ten years, International C&J and CHT were combined by name, CJCHT.
CJCHT went to China with the
goal of providing the best product, coupled
with the service that our customers had
become accustomed to and most importantly
the price that would make the business grow
for all.
Since the beginning, in 1981,
International C&J CJCHT has always viewed
its staff as being one of its greatest assets
and this attitude has helped the company
keep some staff. This is also true in China
as some of our staff has been with us since
the beginning.
As China and CJCHT grew it
became apparent that there were other needs
that our customers had in other areas. Since
early 2000 CJCHT began to invest in non-shoe
factories. Today along with the shoe factories,
CJCHT owns factories that make other consumer
items such as flags, decorative glass, high
performance fiber graphics, outdoor garden
products and a totally vertical group of
printing factories.
