Hutchison Harbour Ring Limited was a Bermuda incorporated company based in Hong Kong. The company was sold to Oceanwide Holdings in December 2014.[2]

It was a holding company that manufactures and markets toys, premiums, telecommunication accessories and electronic products. Its products are mainly sold to the United States and Europe.[3] However, it was transformed into a real estate company, which owned various floors of Harbour Ring Plaza and Harbour Ring Huangpu Centre, both in Shanghai, via two subsidiaries. State-owned enterprise Gold Bund Group was the minority shareholder of both subsidiaries, which offered to the public to buy in 2017.[4][5]

In November 2014, Hutchison Whampoa sold a 71.4% majority stake in the company to the Chinese real estate developer Oceanwide Holdings for HK$3.82 billion ($493 million), which activate the mandatory public offer to buy the remain offer from the market.[8][2] Eventually the company remained as a public company, with new name, new business, new assets as China Oceanwide Holdings Limited.
