PCH International

PCH International offers transparent, sustainable product development and supply chain management services to a diverse range of clients, from Fortune 500s to innovative startups.

PCH customers are located all over the world, from the technology giants of Silicon Valley to smaller startup companies. PCH has established 10 regional offices and employs more than 5,000 staff of 16 different nationalities with people based in Ireland, China, USA, Singapore, South Africa, Japan and South Korea.

History

PCH was founded in Cork, Ireland, by CEO Liam Casey in 1996. The company headquarters are today located in Cork while operational headquarters are in Shenzhen, South China with a US headquarters in San Francisco.

The development of PCH saw a criss-cross of activity across the globe from Donoughmore, Co. Cork in Ireland to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province in China. The journey saw Liam Casey start his career in fashion retail with Tricot Marine, moving to the United States to work for a trading company, before finally landing in Shenzhen, China. The company was named after the Pacific Coast Highway, in memory of Casey’s time living in California. During his time in the United States, Casey worked for a trading company that imported from China. After visiting the country and witnessing the quality and work ethic of Chinese manufacturers, he spotted an opportunity to match Chinese manufacturing with western markets.[1] In 2007, Liam Casey was named Ernst & Young Irish Entrepreneur of the Year achieving a major milestone in the development of PCH.[2]
