The Scorpio East Group was founded in 1994 by Mr John Ho. Originally known as Golden Mandarin Video Pte Ltd, it was renamed Scorpio East Entertainment Pte Ltd in 2002. In late 2004, the Group was reorganized with the formation of Scorpio East Holdings Ltd.

Subsequently, we incorporated Scorpio East Pictures (Hong Kong) Ltd and Scorpio East Entertainment Sdn Bhd as our wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Malaysia respectively. These corporate vehecles will be used to further the Group's long-term plans in the region. At the same time, Scorpio East Multimedia Pte Ltd, Scorpio East Pictures Pte Ltd and later Scorpio East Entertainment Pte Ltd were reorganized under the holding company Scorpio East Holdings Ltd.

The Scorpio East Group has come a long way since its birth in 1994. It has grown from a small distributor of mainly Chinese home entertainment video products, to a significant player in this industry, with a strong team of 70 staff and an annual turnover of nearly S$20 million today.
In 2003, the Scorpio East Group succeeded in securing the much coveted exclusive licence to distribute Hong Kong's Television Broadcast Ltd (TVB) programmes in Singapore, which marked a major milestone for Scorpio East. In recognition of its consistently good performance, TVB renewed Scorpio East's exclusive licence for 1 year in 2004 and a further 2 years in 2005.

In October 2003, Scorpio East was also granted an exclusive sub-license from TVBI for the distribution of China Central Television (CCTV) programmes, in Singapore. CCTV is China's largest national television network.

In October 2005, Scorpio East obtained the video distribution rights from Buena Vista Home Entertainment Inc ("BVHE"), a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company, to manufacture and distribute VCD and to distribute DVD of titles released by BVHE in Singapore.
