CPK Duty Free was established in Springvale in 1994 as a duty free and retail outlet for electrical and luxury goods. From modest beginnings, CPK Duty Free has fast grown to become one of Melbourne’s premier duty free and retail shopping destinations for Swiss watches, perfume, electrical goods and alcohol for travellers and local residents.

With just two family members and a shop size of 75 sqm in Springvale, Victoria, Meily and Ngoun Lim started CPK Duty Free stocking ten brands including Seiko, Citizen, Raymond Weil and Morris watches, Guelin cosmetics, Hennessy , Canon, Sony, Panasonic and Nikon electronics.

Today, CPK Duty Free has two stores, one in the heart of Springvale now ten times its original size and another in the eastern superb of Camberwell. In addition, the Lim’s own a central 750sqm warehouse (purchased in 2000) that supplies both stores ensuring adequately stocked are maintained.

What do Meily and Ngoun Lim put their success down to:

"hard work, a passion for the finest products, hiring and training professional sales people, taking calculated risks and investing in top-end, high demand products".
