The agribusiness and food subsidiaries of the Aboitiz Group, Pilmico and Gold Coin, recently merged under a new corporate brand, Aboitiz Foods, which aims to create a fully integrated food and agribusiness ecosystem. “Aboitiz Foods is committed to nourishing Asia's future by delivering value across the entire food chain,” the company said.
Pilmico is a flour and feed manufacturer and meat producer in the Philippines. With a rich history dating back to 1962, the company expanded from flour milling to become a pioneer in animal nutrition in the Philippines. Meanwhile, Gold Coin Management Holdings Inc. is a pioneer in animal nutrition and the manufacturing of scientifically balanced animal feed in Asia. Established in 1953, Gold Coin has grown into one of Asia’s largest privately owned agribusinesses.
While operating independently since Pilmico’s acquisition of Gold Coin Management Holdings Ltd in 2018, the two companies now join forces under the Aboitiz Foods banner. With combined expertise in trading, feed, specialty nutrition, and food production, Aboitiz Foods is strategically positioned to become a dominant force in the region.
The company’s 29 facilities span eight countries—the Philippines, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Brunei—allowing it to meet the diverse and evolving needs of customers and consumers across Asia.
“This significant milestone represents a new chapter in our journey to sustainably feed Asia’s growth from mill to meal,” said Tristan Aboitiz, Aboitiz Foods president and CEO. “Building 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.”
This strategic integration translates into tangible benefits for Aboitiz Foods’ customers. Combining the resources and expertise of Pilmico and Gold Coin, Aboitiz Foods ensures a consistent and dependable supply of high-quality agricultural and nutritional products, tailored to each customer’s unique needs.
The transition will be seamless for Pilmico and Gold Coin’s valued customers. Existing business operations and relationships remain uninterrupted while benefiting from enhanced efficiency and product quality.
