KC Group

Kuan Chen Group (KC Group) has been operating under Chairman Young Huang’s leadership for 50 years. By following Chairman Huang's core business philosophy of "Integrity, Credibility, Diligence, and Prudence",  KC Group has successfully diversified into multiple industries. In addition to investing in real estate throughout Taiwan, Mainland China, and the United States, in 2007 the Huang family and its friends also founded American Plus Bank, a U.S. national chartered bank. It focuses on providing financial, insurance and banking services in Southern California.

With real estate as its core business, KC Group became a leader in real estate development and construction with a series of development projects throughout Taiwan. On the engineering and construction side, KC Construction has a fleet of construction equipment and vehicles that are dispatched to various projects in Taiwan.

Over the past 50 years, Chairman Huang’s real estate companies included Kuan Chen Development, Taipei Housing Group, Yi-Jian Construction, Ji-Gu Construction, and Cambridge Construction. These companies were devoted to the businesses of land development, real estate acquisition and disposition, joint venture projects, architectural and interior design, landscape design, engineering, construction, and title registration and transaction. Aside from the real estate industry, Chairman Huang also immersed himself into the medical industry by founding Chung-Hsi Hospital, which was the first hospital in Taiwan to focus on delivering a combination of western and Chinese medical treatment to its patients. Chairman Huang also invested in the food industry by founding Beautiful Foods and BJJ Foods as well as founding a large-scale restaurant named Forever Happiness.

Today KC Group is led by its managing director and Chairman Huang’s son, Albert Huang.  Aside from being engaged in the real estate and financial sectors in the U.S., Albert also excels in the areas of politics and education.

In the past two decades, Chairman Huang and his son Albert have become leaders in the real estate industry in the Chinese American community. Richmont Development, Ruby Investment, R&Y Construction, and TAG Design Works have been widely recognized and have received many industry awards for many of the projects completed. Aside from receiving the U.S. Congressional Award for Community Service, the Huangs also received design excellence awards from the City of Alhambra, the City of San Gabriel, and the City of Pasadena. Chase Bank and the Chinese American Builders Association also recognized the Huangs as the U.S. Builder of the Year in 2006. From 2004 through 2010, Albert Huang served as the Mayor, Vice Mayor, Councilmember, and Planning Commissioner of the City of San Gabriel. In addition to being the founding director of American Plus Bank, he also served on the board of USC's School of Architecture and the American Institute in China.

In 2010, Albert Huang joined a group of U.S. industry leaders in founding China-US Strategic Ventures, which he now serves as co-chairman. That year he organized and hosted the first ever US-China Real Estate Summit and was later appointed by Governor Schwarzenegger to the California Entertainment and Tourism Committee. Through his vast contacts and resources in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, Albert Huang continues to promote ties between the world’s two largest economies.

Nearly 10 years ago, Chairman Huang returned to Taiwan to establish both KC Asset Management Ltd. and Kuan Chen Biotech Inc.. Kuan Chen Biotech is devoted to the development of the biotechnology industry in Taiwan and features the local specialty Antrodia Cinnamomea, which was originally intended for the family's self-use and personal medical treatment.  Chairman Huang wanted to give back to society and decided to found Kuan Chen Biotech Inc. in order for others to get the benefits of Antrodia Cinnamomea. The biotech enterprise has since developed a market presence in Mainland China, the U.S., and other international markets. In addition to investing a large amount of capital into the enhancement of its production facilities, Kuan Chen Biotech also collaborates with other producers in the industry to secure a continuous pipeline of the highest quality raw materials.
