Peter Kuo
CEO, Panhornic ComMec Holding Co., Ltd.
Chinese Taipei

Peter Kuo, CEO of Panhornic ComMec Holding Company, Ltd., and his wife started a business in 1986 to solve job scarcity and to advocate cooperation and sharing instead of competition or monopoly in Chinese Taipei. They invented a new industry known as “Electronics & Commerce.” They also made a substantial implement called “The Electronic Store System,” also known as “TES.” As a result of this industry, Mr. Kuo was invited to be a speaker at the 1998 APEC Malaysia summit.

He told us in detail about his experience of doing business in Mainland China. In 1999, Mr. Kuo and his business partners moved to the mainland and were wll received by the government of P.R.China. However, it was prohibited by the Taiwanese government and Mr. Kuo was not allowed to get out of Taiwan for about 4 years. Finally, he was freed again in 2006 and eager to continue with his business. At the present time, he is working hard to start business in mainland China and expand it to the Japanese market.

Throughout the interview we were deeply moved by Mr. Kuo’s social responsibilities. He has opened his arms to the poor, and extended his hands to the needy. In addition, he has a very strong commitment to pursue his dream no matter what kind of hardships he encounters. With these two extraordinary qualities, Mr. Kuo has great chances to become a legend in the world of the rich.
