Expanding business in Asia
Shangdong Thaiya Meisi Pet Foods owns a dry pet food factory and produces and sells dry pet food products under OEM. Based on the ASIAN Group's letter to the Thailand bourse, Shangdong has a registered capital of RMB 20 million yuan, or about 90.5 million Thai Baht (US$2.99 million).
2019 marked the ASIAN Group's foray into the pet food market with its very own brand aimed at maximizing its potential as a high-quality pet food manufacturer. Under the brand Monchou, a French word for “Darling,” the Asian Group offers both premium dry and wet food for cats and dogs, distributed and sold mainly in Thailand. By investing in a new pet food company, the company hopes to achieve its sales target of around 200 million Baht (US$6.5 million) for its first three years in the business and make its name known in the international pet food industry.
