It all started more than 40 years ago at a modest family-run business that made and sold home-made traditional pastries to local groceries and supermarkets. Their founders took a great pride in work, baking and packing our food with love and care. While the food was sold fresh on the same day it was made, business was nevertheless limited to geographical locations that were not too far away; any further and it would have had been difficult to ensure the food stayed fresh throughout the journey! By mid-1980s, however, as the business was gaining a steady lead in the local market, there was the inevitable need to expand beyond Malaysia shores.

One problem: how to ensure exports stayed fresh on the journey abroad? Their founders had already ruled out using preservatives and artificial ingredients that did not spoil easily, as they believed in providing everyone with only authentic and safe food of the highest quality. In their quest to find a way to lengthen their food’s shelf life and retain its Asian heritage and home-made goodness, their founders found a solution: they would freeze their products. This decision changed the course of their business and resulted in the brand known today as Kawan Food.

What has enable Kawan Food Berhad to achieve market leadership is an unwavering commitment to the values of excellence, innovation, reliability, growth, fariness and good citizenship.
