Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia, the company operates across the livestock, companion animal, agriculture, and human healthcare industries.
The company organizes its business into three core operating segments: Animal Health Products and Equipment, Food Ingredients, and Diagnostic and Other Services. Its animal health portfolio comprises over 300 products, including veterinary pharmaceuticals such as antimicrobials, anticoccidials, analgesics, anti-inflammatories, and disinfectants; biologicals and vaccines targeting poultry, swine, ruminant, equine, canine, and feline health; feed additives and specialty nutritional supplements, including mycotoxin binders, mold inhibitors, organic acids, enzyme premixes, and the proprietary Aviprime nutritional line; biosecurity and pest management chemicals; veterinary equipment, surgical consumables, and animal husbandry hardware; and companion animal wellness products. Through its food ingredients segment, the company supplies and distributes functional food ingredients, texturizers, flavor enhancers, starches, dairy derivatives, and bakery ingredients to industrial food and beverage manufacturers. Under its diagnostic and advisory segment, the group provides veterinary clinical diagnostic testing, pathology and serology analyses, disease surveillance, farm management consultancy, food safety testing, feed nutritional analyses, and contract research and development services, alongside specialized molecular diagnostics for human healthcare. The group operates a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-certified manufacturing facility in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, as well as a centralized logistics and warehousing distribution center in Kapar, Selangor, serving customers across Malaysia and broader Southeast Asian markets.
The company executes its operations through principal subsidiaries, including Rhone Ma Malaysia Sdn Bhd, APSN Lifescience Sdn Bhd, APSN Biotech Sdn Bhd, Vet Food Agro Diagnostics (M) Sdn Bhd, and Link Ingredients Sdn Bhd. In recent strategic developments, Rhone Ma has expanded its downstream footprint in the agribusiness sector through large-scale dairy farming and milk processing initiatives. Through its 49-percent-owned subsidiary, A2 Fresh Holdings Sdn Bhd, the group established a joint venture with Kulim (Malaysia) Berhad and the East Coast Economic Region Development Council (ECERDC) to develop, operate, and manage the Jemaluang Dairy Valley project spanning approximately 275 hectares in Mersing, Johor. Additionally, its subsidiary Link Ingredients Sdn Bhd secured a RM15.64 million contract to supply, fabricate, install, and commission the automated milk processing line for the Jemaluang Dairy Valley Complex. Concurrently, the group continues to enhance production capacity at its Nilai GMP-compliant manufacturing plant, expand herd capacity at its Batang Kali dairy facility, and broaden product registrations for its proprietary veterinary formulations across regional export markets.
