Our heritage
The Group's history begins with San Mya—also known as Musa Meear—whose integrity, commercial judgement and trusted relationships established the standards carried into later decades.

Successive leadership teams expanded the Group's reach while retaining the reputation for integrity and business acumen established at its origin.
Origins
The foundation of what would become Lion King Group traces back to 1990 and San Mya, also known as Musa Meear.
An established businessman in Myanmar, San Mya earned a reputation for integrity and business acumen. He instilled those values in his sons, who later developed these commercial interests into a formal trading operation.
Second-generation leadership
San Mya's elder sons, Pho Hlaing and Thein Shwe (Maung Thein), recognised new opportunities in Myanmar's developing economy and established trading relationships with neighbouring and regional markets.
Their network reached China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Import-export activity focused on bicycles and accessories, automobiles and parts, and agricultural products.
This period developed the trading operation into a more structured regional business network and created a base for Lion King Group's subsequent diversification.
Modern expansion & diversification
Tin Maung Swe and Tin Maung Than became the driving force behind a period of formalisation and growth. Their strategic approach brought structural change and expanded the enterprise.
Lion King Group evolved from a traditional trading company into a diversified group active in construction, property, manufacturing, construction materials, jewellery, financial services, renewable energy, food and beverage, and international trade.
