FBC manufactures and distributes seasonings and herbal beverages with seven of its own brands including Chornthong, PQ, Matrix and the namesake FBC. It has a factory located in Pathum Thani province, the filing read.
In 2018, FBC, which like Thaifoods is based in Bangkok, generated sales of THB381.6m and a net profit of THB7.3m.
In May, Thaifoods posted a 2.3% increase in first-quarter revenues to THB6.83bn. It made a net profit of THB204.2m, compared to a net loss of THB110.8m in the first three months of 2017.
The same year, Thaifoods’ revenue stood at THB25.91bn, up 9.6% on 2017 thanks to higher sales from its swine and feed-mill businesses. Net profit was THB645.5m, a drop of 57% on a year earlier.
