Malaysian Dairy Industries, a Singapore-based dairy manufacturer, owns the remaining 23.62% share.
San Miguel said the move is part of its regional expansion strategy to boost its business and product portfolio across the Asia-Pacific region. The acquisition gives the company a strong position in the region’s growing dairy industry and provides immediate entry into the Malaysian and Singaporean ice cream markets.
With manufacturing operations in Shah Alam and Kuching, distribution in both Malaysia and Singapore, as well as exports to neighbouring countries, King’s Creameries is among the top four ice cream players in Malaysia and Singapore, San Miguel said.
San Miguel is currently in the bidding to take over Australian dairy products firm National Foods.
