Business
United Plantations Berhad (UPB) engages in the cultivation, processing, and refining of palm oil and coconut crops across plantations in Peninsular Malaysia and Indonesia. Founded in 1906 and headquartered in Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia, the company operates a total cultivated land bank of approximately 63,000 hectares, with 71% in Malaysia and 29% in Indonesia, employing over 6,000 people in upstream plantation activities and downstream refining through its subsidiaries. Its core products and services encompass crude palm oil and palm kernel production from oil palm cultivation; refined edible oils, specialty fats, and cocoa butter substitutes manufactured at two palm oil refineries in Malaysia; high-yield planting materials developed through in-house research, breeding, and tissue culture programs established in 1951; bulking and storage facilities for vegetable oils and molasses; and consumer bakery products including Danish butter cookies, coconut buns, fruit cakes, and rye bread from its historic Bernam Bakery. UPB maintains a fully integrated supply chain with high traceability, emphasizing certified sustainable palm oil as the world's first RSPO-certified producer in 2008. In recent developments, the company achieved record after-tax profits of RM719 million for the financial year 2024, driven by higher commodity prices, optimized yields from proprietary planting materials, and resilient refinery performance amid Indonesian competition; reported stellar Q2 2025 results with 16.9% revenue growth to RM638.4 million, fueled by 22.2% increases in crude palm oil production and 23.9% in palm kernel output alongside elevated selling prices; announced a special dividend of 14 sen per share for the year ended December 31, 2025, and a bonus issue of securities in February 2025; and invested in joint ventures including Unifuji Sdn Bhd, supporting refinery profit growth, while sustaining strong financials with MYR389.52 million in cash reserves against minimal debt. The company serves global and local customers in the agriculture and food sectors, prioritizing sustainability, ethical practices, and operational efficiency across its plantations, refining, research, and trading segments.
