路易达孚和中国的渊源可以追溯到1972年美国总统理查德尼克松访华,作为贸易协定的一部分,路易达孚于1973年做了他在中国的第一笔生意， 同时也成为了第一个向中国出口棉花的国家。随之而来， 路易达孚于1994年在上海自由贸易区建立了在中国的第一家公司。

之后，1996在北京建立了代表处，当时只有七名员工。代表处最初的业务是协助路易达孚的谷物和油脂业务.后来在2000年扩展到棉花和糖以及其他农产品，进一步拓展了路易达孚在中国的舞台。随着在中国加入WTO， 路易达孚北京贸易有限责任公司于2005年8月成立,成为了有农业贸易权的第一家外商独资公司（WFOE）。从此路易达孚农产品业务也扩展到中国国内市场。

另一个标志性的里程碑是2007年路易达孚霸州饲料蛋白公司--油脂压榨工厂的成立，这也推动了路易达孚在中国的投资。

在2005年，独资公司刚刚成立的时候，路易达孚在中国只有68名员工。而时至今日，到2009年，路易达孚已经有了348名员工，从新西兰到芬兰， 分别来自9个不同的国家。而中国雇员，也遍布从上海到新疆的24个省。2008年国内贸易额达到60亿人民币，另外路易达孚北京也协助实现了中国公司和路易达孚其他区域的2000亿人民币的进出口贸易。 展望未来，随着中国的持续发展， 路易达孚会继续拓展在中国的业务。

2009年的夏天，路易达孚将骄傲地记录下路易达孚北京独资公司已经成立了四周年， 同时路易达孚霸州工厂也已经走过了两周年。

“从代表处到今天的羽翼丰满,分工完善的贸易公司，我们走过了一段很长的路，”陈涛，路易达孚北京公司的主席这样说道，“在这条路上， 我们无论是尝试新的贸易方式，或者是在中国开展新的业务，取得了无数的里程碑式的成绩。在亚洲，特别是中国这个具有无穷潜力的地方， 我们期待着路易达孚能够持续成长。”
