History
PCH was founded in Cork, Ireland, by CEO Liam Casey in 1996. Corporate headquarters are located in Cork while operational headquarters are in Shenzhen, South China, with US headquarters in San Francisco.
The development of PCH saw activity across the globe from Donoughmore, Co. Cork in Ireland to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province in China. Liam Casey started his career in fashion retail with Tricot Marine, moving to the United States to work for a trading company, before finally landing in Shenzhen, China. The company was named after the Pacific Coast Highway, in memory of Casey’s time living in California. During his time in the United States, Casey worked for a trading company that imported from China. After visiting the country and witnessing the quality and work ethic of Chinese manufacturers, he spotted an opportunity to match Chinese manufacturing with western markets. In 2007, Liam Casey was named Ernst & Young Irish Entrepreneur of the Year.
