PHILIPPINES – The Aboitiz Group, a leading conglomerate in the Philippines with interests in power, banking and financial services, food, infrastructure and real estate, has announced the launch of Aboitiz Foods, a unified corporate brand created by consolidating two of its key subsidiaries, Pilmico and Gold Coin Management Holdings Inc.
This strategic move positions Aboitiz Foods as a powerful integrated agribusiness and food ecosystem, aiming to strengthen its dominance in Asia’s food and agribusiness sector.
Established in 1962, Pilmico is a major player in the Philippines’ flour, feed, and meat production industries.
Meanwhile, Gold Coin, founded in 1953, has grown into one of Asia’s largest privately owned agribusinesses. It specializes in animal nutrition and the manufacturing of scientifically balanced animal feed. Despite Pilmico’s acquisition of Gold Coin in 2018, both entities have operated independently until now.
Aboitiz Foods will leverage the combined expertise of Pilmico and Gold Coin in trading, feed production, specialty nutrition, and food manufacturing.
The new entity aims to create a seamless supply chain across eight countries, including the Philippines, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Brunei.
The integration is expected to enhance efficiency, product quality, and innovation, delivering a consistent and reliable supply of high-quality agricultural and nutritional products to its customers.
According to Tristan Aboitiz, president and CEO of Aboitiz Foods, the consolidation marks a significant milestone that builds on the 100-year legacy of the Aboitiz Group.
“We are committed to optimizing all our processes and businesses, constantly improving as we integrate the value chain across Asia, for a more sustainable and food-secure future,” he said.
The company aims to foster collaboration across its subsidiaries while maintaining the Aboitiz values of integrity, teamwork, innovation, and responsibility.
Aboitiz Foods plans to expand its market presence by introducing products like pet food brands “Maxime,” “Tommy,” “Woofy,” and its meat brand “The Good Meat” into the retail market.
With over 3,700 employees, the company is dedicated to promoting sustainable growth, investing in local communities, and driving positive change in the agribusiness landscape across Asia.
