The Trading segment supplies and distributes a diverse array of imported and locally sourced food ingredients, including natural and artificial flavorings; spice extracts and oleoresins; botanical essential oils; food colorants; hydrolyzed vegetable proteins; flavor enhancers; and food additives. In addition, the company provides value-added product development, customized formulation, contract blending, and original equipment manufacturing (OEM) services adhering to Halal, HACCP, and ISO food safety certifications, catering to industrial food and beverage manufacturers, commercial meat processors, snack producers, and foodservice operators.
