We are an established dairy product manufacturer located at Telok Panglima Garang, Kuala Langat, Selangor. Founded in 1991 as a packaging agent for foodstuff, F&B Nutrition Sdn. Bhd., we fully transformed in 2004 and are now one of the largest OEM manufacturers of sweetened creamer and evaporated creamer in Malaysia. We have seen tremendous growth in the demand for vegetable oil-based creamers, both locally and in overseas markets. In view of this, we are currently expanding our factory by adding additional production lines capable of manufacturing all four can sizes – 170g, 390g, 505g, and 1kg – simultaneously. Our expansion has also introduced our newly launched Evaporated Creamer line, which is already operating at full capacity.
