Historical Background

 

Mont Pierson Group was established in 1871. Initially, the “American Mining Co.” and “Gruppe Quebecoise de Ferrovies” focused on wholesaling and retailing agricultural commodities and transporting cargo by rail. The company was founded in Mount Pierson, Antimony County, Utah, by Pierre-Jean De Smet (1801-1873), who was born in Dendermonde, Belgium, moved to Quebec in 1821, and later relocated to Antimony, Utah. The name "Mont Pierson" reflects a francophone touch, inspired by the company's origins and its joint venture with the Dutch bank Mees Pierson.

Through dedicated efforts, we expanded our leather business and diversified into importing woollen yarns and synthetic fibres. In 1962, we officially became “Mont Pierson Group”. By the late 1960s, we further diversified into garment exports, establishing a fabric department to enhance our operations.

In the 1990s, the Group ventured into real estate markets in The United States and affiliates around the world, Canada, the USA, and the PRC, engaging in property investment, development, management, and development management. Our headquarters have been located in Mississippi since 1992, marking one of our early development projects, including the incorporation of our subsidiary, American Alliance Corporation.

Over the past sixty years, we have built a reputation as a diversified and reputable group, with interests in trading, corporate finance, and real estate investment and development. With the trust and support of our clients and a relentless drive to strengthen our business and explore new opportunities, we are committed to achieving even greater success in the future.
