About the owner: CP Foods
CP Foods is a publicly listed company headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, founded in 1978. Brandtree records 16 brands under its control, and it is listed as SET: CPF.
CP Foods is Thailand's largest agro-industrial and food company. It was registered in January 1978 as Charoen Pokphand Feedmill with 5 million baht of capital, listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in December 1987 and took its present name after buying the Charoen Pokphand Group's agro-industry and meat processing businesses in 1998, announcing at the same time the ambition to be the "kitchen of the world". It runs three linked businesses — animal feed, farming and primary processing, and food — and makes feed in eleven countries under a model of producing and selling inside each market rather than exporting into it.
