According to public information, the predecessor of Shede Liquor Industry is Tuopai Shares, which can be traced back to the local state-owned enterprise Shehong Tuopai Qu Distillery in Sichuan Province, and was listed as a national large-scale enterprise in 1990. In 1993, Sichuan Tuopai Industrial Co., Ltd. was reorganized and established, and in 1996 it was listed on the A-share market.
After being taken over by SkyOcean Holdings in 2015, on the last day of 2020, Fosun officially entered the Shede Liquor Industry, which also provided a renewable growth momentum for the Shede Liquor Industry.
