CK Hutchison Holdings Limited (Chinese: 長江和記實業有限公司) is a Hong Kong–based and Cayman Islands–registered multinational conglomerate corporation. The company was formed in March 2015 through the merger of Cheung Kong Holdings and its main associate company Hutchison Whampoa.[2] It has four core businesses – ports and related services, retail, infrastructure and telecommunications – which operate in over 50 countries, as well as several other investments around the world.[3]

Holdings

The company owns substantial holdings in businesses across a number of industries.[4]

Telecoms

The Group's telecommunications division is a leading global operator and innovator of converged telecommunication and digital services around the world.[1]

Infrastructure

The company has investments in energy infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, water infrastructure, waste management, waste-to-energy and household infrastructure. Its investments and operations span across Hong Kong, Mainland China, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States.[1]

Ports

As the world's leading port investor, developer and operator, the Group's ports division holds interests in 52 ports comprising 291 operational berths in 27 countries, including container terminals operating in six of the 10 busiest container ports in the world. In 2021, the division handled a total throughput of 88.0 million twenty-foot equivalent units (“TEU”). It also engages in river trade, cruise terminal operations and ports related logistic services.[1]

In March 2025, CK Hutchinson Holding agreed to sell Hutchinson Port Holdings and Hutchinson Port Group Holdings to BlackRock.[11] This comes in the context of U.S. President Donald Trump denouncing Chinese influence over the Panama Canal and calling for the United States to reclaim control of the canal in some form or another.[12][13]

Retail

The Group's retail division is the world's largest international health and beauty retailer, with over 16,300 stores in 28 markets worldwide. Its retail portfolio comprises health and beauty products, supermarkets, as well as consumer electronics and electrical appliances. It also manufactures and distributes bottled water and beverage products in Hong Kong and Mainland China.[1]
