Antoine Seeyave Senior (1908-1987)


Antoine Seeyave Senior was an outstanding achiever.

In 1952, he founded the company together with Joseph Konfortion and Edward Leung Pin. He created a leader in the food sector, and Happy World grew into a symbol of success. That gave him the greatest professional achievement.

Success never got the better of him; he stayed humble throughout. Born in 1908 the son of a baker, he continued to cherish the simple joys of life, and remained true to his roots.

Year 2008 marks the centenary of his birth, a fitting occasion to celebrate his achievements.
