Growing Across Generations: Tian Hup Seng's Bakery Journey with Lian Huat

Growing Across Generations: Tian Hup Seng's Bakery Journey with Lian Huat

Customer Story | Lian Huat

Established in 1977, Tian Hup Seng (天合成饼坊) is a family bakery business now managed by its third generation.

Its relationship with Lian Huat began in 1992, when Tian Hup Seng purchased its first Lian Huat Rack Oven. A second unit followed in 1999, and a third in 2011.

One notable detail stands out: the first Rack Oven purchased in 1992 remains in use today.

Three Rack Oven Purchases Over 19 Years


Tian Hup Seng's equipment purchasing history with Lian Huat spans three separate milestones:

  • 1992 — First Rack Oven: Tian Hup Seng purchased its first Rack Oven from Lian Huat. The unit remains in use today.

  • 1999 — Second Rack Oven: A second unit was purchased seven years later.

  • 2011 — Third Rack Oven: A third unit was purchased as the bakery continued to develop.

These purchases document the equipment acquired by Tian Hup Seng at different points in its business history. Together, they provide a timeline of its relationship with Lian Huat spanning nearly two decades of purchases.


A Long-Standing Customer Relationship


For a family business that has developed across three generations, its history includes both continuity and change.

Tian Hup Seng's journey provides the context for its long-standing relationship with Lian Huat. The three Rack Oven purchases, made between 1992 and 2011, form part of that history.

The continued use of the first Rack Oven is a particularly notable detail. It records the history of an individual machine over more than three decades, without assuming that every unit will have the same service life or operating experience.


Looking Back on Our Journey Together


At Lian Huat, we value the opportunity to work with customers over the course of their business development. Tian Hup Seng's experience is one example of a customer relationship that has continued across different stages of a bakery's history.

We thank Tian Hup Seng and Mr. Lim for sharing their story with us, and appreciate their continued trust and support over the years.
