History

Suncoco was established in the 1980s as Sam Lung Products Ltd. during a period of significant growth in Hong Kong's garment industry. Initially, the company focused on distributing high-quality Japanese textile products, particularly fine-grade threads used in traditional kimono production. These threads, sourced from Japanese artisans, were noted for their superior durability and luster, providing a competitive edge in the market.

In the 1990s, the company rebranded as Suncoco and shifted its focus to developing a dedicated line of embroidery threads. This period saw the introduction of a wide range of products, including wool, cotton, acrylic, metallic, and specialty threads like glow-in-the-dark varieties. The company expanded its offerings to include threads in various colors, textures, and finishes, catering to both industrial and novelty applications.
