A little bit of history
John Swire (1793-1847) establishes a trading company in Liverpool, UK. Swire gradually built a successful import-export business, based mainly on the textile trade. His sons, John Samuel (1825-1898) and William Hudson (1830-1884) took the firm overseas and it was John Samuel Swire in particular whose entrepreneurial instincts would be at the root of the firm's successes in years to come.
Fun Fact:
“The Last Samurai” Swire’s presence can be seen from this movie footage of Yokohama port, Japan, circa 1876!
