Contempo Chronology

Our story began in 1977, when Betty Wong, founded Contempo in Hong Kong. She started the company as a boutique sourcing house with a specialty in sweaters. As Contempo’s founder, Betty established and maintained the company’s standard of excellence for the next 40+ years!

Contempo was a pioneer in empowering and promoting women to business leadership roles. Betty identified talent and work ethic in her recruits. From the beginning, and as Contempo grew, she trained, nurtured and rewarded excellence with senior and executive positions throughout the company. Contempo remains an example of corporate equality and fairness…always valuing and promoting strong, talented women.
