- Business
- Lay Hong Berhad is a Malaysia-based integrated poultry producer and food manufacturing company that operates across the full agribusiness value chain from farming to retail. Founded in 1960 and incorporated in 1983, the company is headquartered in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia, and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia under the ticker LAYHONG. The company manages vertically integrated operations comprising poultry breeding, commercial layer farming, broiler farming, feed milling, downstream food processing, packaging manufacturing, and supermarket retailing. The company organizes its business into three primary operating segments: Integrated Livestock Farming, Food Manufacturing, and Retail. Its core products and services include: table eggs and specialty nutrient-enriched eggs, including selenium-enriched, omega-3, low-cholesterol, and kampung eggs sold under the proprietary Nutriplus and Wise Choice brand names; pasteurized liquid egg products, including whole egg, egg white, and egg yolk solutions for commercial bakeries and institutional food processors; live commercial broilers and day-old chicks; formulated poultry feeds; primary processed poultry, including chilled and frozen whole dressed chickens and portioned cuts; further processed value-added poultry products, such as chicken frankfurters, chicken nuggets, breaded fried chicken, burger patties, meatballs, sausages, and ready-to-eat meal solutions; organic bio-fertilizer processed from poultry manure; and molded pulp paper egg trays for internal packaging and commercial sale. Through its Retail segment, the company operates regional retail supermarket and mini-market chains under the G-Mart and MYSHOP banners, primarily serving communities in Sabah, East Malaysia. Lay Hong Berhad serves a diversified customer base that includes major supermarket chains, hypermarkets, convenience store networks, hotels, restaurants, food service caterers, commercial food manufacturers, and end consumers across domestic Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia. The company also exports selected poultry and egg products to regional international markets, including Singapore and Japan. Its operational infrastructure includes modern closed-house layer and broiler farms, automated grading and packing plants, liquid egg pasteurization facilities, Halal-certified food manufacturing facilities, feed mills, and regional distribution centers. In recent developments, the company has undertaken strategic shifts in its shareholding structure and operational sustainability initiatives. In late 2024, Japan-based NH Foods Ltd. disposed of its substantial equity stake of approximately 62.32 million shares in Lay Hong Berhad, transitioning the group toward independent ownership while maintaining customer and supply relationships. Operationally, Lay Hong Berhad has accelerated capital investments in automation and renewable energy, deploying rooftop solar photovoltaic installations across its poultry farming facilities to mitigate escalating utility overheads and reduce carbon intensity. Concurrently, the group continues to expand its downstream ready-to-eat and processed food manufacturing capacities, broaden its higher-margin functional egg portfolio, and optimize its retail store network across East Malaysia to strengthen overall margin resilience against raw material feed price volatility.
