The Herald Group embraces toy, houseware, computer head and timepiece divisions with operations in Hong Kong, Mainland China, UK, France and Germany.
Herald Metal & Plastic Works Limited, now the operating company of the toy division, was first established in 1969 by George Bloch, Chang Dong-Song and Boris Freiman, and is a leading toy producer with factories in Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Dongguan. In the mid 1980's, Herald diversified into other fields of manufacturing through the acquisition of two other businesses - houseware and computer heads.

Herald Houseware Limited makes upmarket and protective coated aluminum cookware. Pilot Housewares (UK) Limited, the Group's UK cookware sales and distribution unit, accounts for more than a third of the division's sales.

Herald Datanetics Limited manufactures magnetic tape heads for computer storage drives, and is a major supplier of ferrite and thin-film magnetic recording heads.

In 1989, Herald acquired a factory which manufactured clocks and clock radios. It was then merged into Herald's own timepiece business and the new entity is known as Herald Electronics Limited. It manufactures a wide range of watches, clocks and clock radios.

In early 1994, the Group acquired Zeon Ltd., the largest timepiece importer and distributor in the UK. Zeon is a leader in sports, fashion and children's licensed timepieces. Zeon owns the "Ingersoll" trademark, one of the oldest and best known watch brands in the UK. Zeon has its own marketing and distribution offices in France and Germany.
