Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, Ulferts International Limited operates within the consumer discretionary sector's specialty retail industry, targeting residential consumers, modern families, and commercial customers through approximately 28 points-of-sale and a workforce of around 126 employees; it functions as a subsidiary of Ulferts International Group Holdings Limited.
In recent developments, the company underwent significant board changes, including the retirement of executive directors and company secretary effective April 1, 2025, with appointments of new leadership such as Ms. Chan Lai Yim as company secretary and shifts in chairman roles involving Mr. Yeung Ching Loong, Alexander and Mr. Wong Chi Fai to streamline governance amid challenging market conditions. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, Ulferts reported total revenue of HK$153.0 million, reflecting a decline due to weakened consumer sentiment and property market pressures, though it implemented cost-saving measures contributing to a narrowed net loss outlook for the six months ended September 30, 2025, to not more than HK$3 million from HK$11 million prior year. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or expansions were announced in the last 1-2 years, with the company maintaining a prudent approach focused on financial stability and market observation in Hong Kong's competitive furniture sector.
