We are dedicated to providing high-quality products that are safe and nutritious, while staying true to our values of ethical business practices and consumer trust. Through continuous product innovation and strategic market expansion, we aim to enhance the everyday dining experiences of households across Malaysia and beyond.

We aspire to continuously evolve with market trends, embrace digital transformation, and expand our Halal product line to cater to diverse consumer needs, ensuring long-term growth and positive community impact.
How We Began
Established in 1959 by the late philanthropist Mr. Lee Seng Fong, Makmur Malaya Sdn Bhd started from humble beginnings as a trading company that imported canned goods and Chinese tea from China.

Over the decades, we have navigated through market transformations, counterfeit challenges, and shifting consumer preferences while staying steadfast in our commitment to quality. Under the leadership of Mr. Lee Chee Hian, who joined in 1991, we introduced groundbreaking innovations such as easy-open lids and nitrite-free luncheon meat, positioning ourselves as industry pioneers.
In the year 2000, we marked yet another significant milestone with the establishment of Makmur Food Industries Sdn Bhd, a Halal-certified manufacturer of canned food products including Makmur and Mi; which have grown to become household names in South East Asia. In 2011 we acquired HACCP, ISO22000, GMP and other certifications, further cementing our commitment to quality, as well as our position as a key player in the food industry. Our strategic expansion into digital marketing and social media has further strengthened our brand presence and consumer engagement.
