History

Establishment

Munchy's started in 1991, in a small town in the South of Malaysia, Batu Pahat. The Munchy's origins started with the two brothers Soo Kuok Tan and Lee Kok Tan setting up Munchy Food Industries. With an initial investment of RM80,000 the brothers developed the company to its current state, with the involvement of their siblings, CK Tan and Net Tan.

Munchy's production capacity increased by the year as the brothers worked towards their goal to market Munchy's globally. [4] The first destination for international expansion was South Africa. Subsequently, the brothers established a partnership with a reputable MNC chocolate company that allowed them to extend Munchy's product range to include chocolate wafers.

International expansion

In 1996, Munchy's factory was built in Johor, Malaysia, with 120,000 sq ft (11,000 m2) of real estate and fully automated wafer technology. Considered the most advanced fully automatic wafer plant in South East Asia to date, three new products were revealed – Muzic Wafers, Munchini Wafer Rolls and Lexus Biscuits.

A 120,000 sq ft (11,000 m2) warehouse was commissioned to be built. Munchy's had more recently adopted a new third-party logistics provider to enable its business to be executed with "Speed to Market" distribution.

All Munchy's products are manufactured solely under the brand name of Munchy's, with a record of 80 SKUs (Stock-Keeping Units) under their belt. The main product offerings for Munchy's are Krunch, Muzic, Munchy's, Lexus and Captain Munch.

1997 saw the introduction of MunchWorld Marketing Sdn Bhd, Munchy's marketing arm and sole distributor of Munchy's products. This entity was set up to spearhead Munchy's branding, marketing, advertising, events, promotions and distribution.

In 2018, CVC Capital Partners acquired 100% of Munchy's. [5]
