King Sue Ham & Sausage Co., Inc. is one of the Philippines’ most iconic and enduring meat processing companies, renowned for its Chinese-style hams, European-inspired cold cuts, and a wide array of ready-to-cook meat products. With over nine decades of heritage, King Sue has evolved into a modern manufacturer and exporter while preserving its legacy of quality, flavor, and innovation.
Founded in 1930 by Chinese immigrant Mr. Cu Un Kay, King Sue began as a small business selling bone-in Chinese hams in Manila’s Binondo district. The name "King Sue" derives from the Chinese words "King" meaning "royalty" and "Sue" meaning "small," symbolizing the brand’s original philosophy of delivering "royal-quality food from humble beginnings." Over time, the company relocated its operations to Caloocan City and expanded its facilities to accommodate modern meat processing and export demands. Today, under the leadership of Fernando King, the company remains family-owned and managed, blending tradition with technological advancement.

King Sue’s core differentiation lies in its authentic, heritage-based processing of hams, which are cured for up to 30 days, smoked using traditional methods, and glazed with signature sauces. These techniques have been preserved for over 90 years, offering a unique, nostalgic flavor unmatched by mass-market competitors. Its expansion into sausages, deli meats, and Filipino-style ready-to-cook items complements its traditional strength with product variety and versatility.
