10 Leading Halal-Certified OEM/ODM Companies in Johor (2026)
Johor-based companies in the OEM/contract-manufacturing category of JAKIM's halal directory, ranked by the number of halal-certified products each lists. Captured 26 September 2026.
This is a data ranking ordered strictly by one registry figure, the number of halal-certified products listed on each company's JAKIM directory page. It is not an assessment of manufacturing quality, capacity or price. Figures come from JAKIM's public directory as captured on 26 September 2026 and change as certificates are renewed, added or lapse.
Quick answer
SDS Food Manufacturing Sdn Bhd leads the ranking of halal-certified OEM manufacturers in Johor in 2026, with 989 distinct halal-certified products listed on its JAKIM directory page, more than any other Johor company in the directory's OEM/contract-manufacturing category (halal.gov.my, captured 26 September 2026). Unigra Food Processing Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd (616) and Cimei Food Ingredients Sdn Bhd (614) follow, according to Malaysia's Top Ten. This is a data ranking ordered by one registry figure, not an assessment of quality, capacity or price.
- 299 Johor companies are listed in the OEM/contract-manufacturing category of JAKIM's halal directory; the top 10 range from 989 halal-certified products (SDS Food Manufacturing) down to 419 (Bunge Loders Croklaan Oils).
- All ten leaders are food and food-ingredient makers. The ten split into bakery and snacks (SDS, Lotus Home Made Cookies, W.C.S, Tatawa, Future Food) and ingredients for other food makers (Unigra, Cimei, Kerry, Kimwah, Bunge Loders Croklaan).
- Kerry Ingredients (Starbucks, McDonald's) and Bunge Loders Croklaan (Dunkin') name global chains on their product lines, the clearest public sign of contract manufacturing in the Johor ten.
- This edition replaces the 1 September 2026 version, which was built from only the first page of an alphabetical directory search; the leaders changed completely after the full category was checked.
How this ranking was decided
A data ranking. The metric is the number of distinct halal-certified products listed on each company's JAKIM Halal Malaysia directory page, ordered highest first. The pool is every Johor company in the directory's OEM/contract-manufacturing category (299 companies); the 25 largest were re-counted directly on the official portal on 26 September 2026. No ties occurred in the top 10.

Halal certification is the first thing most buyers ask a Malaysian food, beverage or ingredient manufacturer for, but a "halal-certified factory" can mean anything from two certified products to nearly two thousand. This data ranking uses JAKIM's own Halal Malaysia directory to answer one checkable question: which Johor companies in the directory's OEM/contract-manufacturing category have the widest halal-certified product range.
Who this list is for
Brand owners, restaurant chains and sourcing managers who need a halal-certified manufacturer or ingredient supplier in Johor and want a registry-based shortlist rather than marketing claims. It is state-specific: strong halal manufacturers in other states do not appear here.
How the ranking was built
We took every Johor company listed in JAKIM's OEM/contract-manufacturing category (299 companies), counted the distinct halal-certified products on each company's directory page, and re-checked the 25 largest directly on the official portal on 26 September 2026. Companies are ordered strictly by that count.
What the numbers show
The ten split into bakery and snacks (SDS, Lotus Home Made Cookies, W.C.S, Tatawa, Future Food) and ingredients for other food makers (Unigra, Cimei, Kerry, Kimwah, Bunge Loders Croklaan). Kerry Ingredients (Starbucks, McDonald's) and Bunge Loders Croklaan (Dunkin') name global chains on their product lines, the clearest public sign of contract manufacturing in the Johor ten. A large product count shows range and certification discipline; it does not by itself prove that a company takes on new private-label clients, so confirm OEM terms directly.

Correction to the earlier edition
The version of this ranking published on 1 September 2026 was built from only the first page of an alphabetical directory search, so it listed mainly companies whose names begin with "A", and it counted certified lines in a different way. Asia Food & Beverage, the previous #1, had 98 halal-certified products listed in the 8 September 2026 directory snapshot, well below the new top-10 cutoff of 419. This edition replaces it in full.

Frequently asked questions
Which halal-certified OEM manufacturer in Johor has the most halal products in 2026?
SDS Food Manufacturing Sdn Bhd has the most, with 989 distinct halal-certified products listed on its JAKIM directory page (halal.gov.my, captured 26 September 2026). Unigra Food Processing Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd (616) and Cimei Food Ingredients Sdn Bhd (614) are second and third among the 299 Johor companies in JAKIM's OEM/contract-manufacturing category, according to Malaysia's Top Ten.
How do I check if a Malaysian factory is really JAKIM halal certified?
Search the company by name in JAKIM's Halal Malaysia directory at halal.gov.my. Its detail page lists every certified product with the brand name and certificate expiry date. If a product you plan to make is not on that page, or the date has expired, it is not currently certified, whatever the company's marketing says. This is the same source used for this ranking.
Does a halal-certified factory make every product halal?
No. JAKIM certifies products, not the whole factory output. A manufacturer's page lists only the products it has registered, and a new product made for your brand must be added to the certificate before it can carry the halal logo. Ask the manufacturer to confirm, in writing, that your product will be registered with JAKIM.
Why do bakery and ingredient companies dominate the halal OEM ranking in Johor?
Bakery and ingredient makers register a separate halal entry for every flavour, size and recipe, so their product counts grow very quickly. In the 26 September 2026 capture, all ten Johor leaders were food or food-ingredient manufacturers. Cosmetics and supplement OEMs also appear in JAKIM's OEM category, but with smaller certified ranges.
Why did this ranking change from the September 2026 first edition?
The 1 September 2026 edition was built from only the first page of an alphabetical JAKIM directory search, so it missed most of the 299 Johor companies in the OEM category. The 26 September 2026 edition counts the full category and re-checks the leaders on the official portal, which changed the entire top 10.
How this ranking was produced
- Question: which Johor-based OEM/contract manufacturers have the widest halal-certified product range on JAKIM's own directory, as of September 2026.
- Ranking type: data. One declared metric, ordered directly, with no editorial scoring.
- Metric: the number of distinct product names listed on the company's JAKIM Halal Malaysia directory detail page. The same product listed twice (for example under two brand names or two expiry dates) is counted once.
- Pool: every company in the directory with premises in Johor and the category "Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)", taken from a full copy of the directory (8,291 companies, snapshot of 8 September 2026): 299 companies.
- Capture: the 25 companies with the most listed products in that snapshot were re-opened on the official portal (halal.gov.my) on 26 September 2026, and the final counts come from those live pages. The gap between #10 and #26 in the snapshot was large enough that no company outside the 25 could reach the top 10.
- Ties: none in the top 10.
- What the count includes: every halal-certified product on the company's page, whether sold under the company's own brand or a client's brand. It measures the breadth of a manufacturer's certified range, not the number of clients.
Notable exclusions
Candidates considered but not ranked, and why:
- LKT Food Industries Sdn Bhd (Skudai, Johor Bahru) — 414 distinct halal-certified products on its JAKIM page (captured 26 September 2026), just below the top-10 cutoff of 419.
- JMM Cookies (M) Sdn Bhd (Muar) — 409 distinct halal-certified products on its JAKIM page (captured 26 September 2026), just below the top-10 cutoff of 419.
- Asia Food & Beverage Sdn. Bhd. (13), Apollo Food Industries (M) Sdn. Bhd. (6) and Aseanis Food Sdn Bhd (6) (listed in the 1 September 2026 edition) — Removed after the full Johor OEM category was counted. Asia Food & Beverage, the previous #1, had 98 halal-certified products listed in the 8 September 2026 directory snapshot, well below the new top-10 cutoff of 419.

Limitations
This ranking measures one thing: how many distinct halal-certified products a company lists on its JAKIM directory page. It does not measure factory size, output, number of clients, price or quality, and a product count can be inflated by many small variants of one recipe. The count includes a company's own brands as well as products made for clients. Product names were de-duplicated by exact name only, so near-identical names may be counted separately. The pool comes from JAKIM's category label; a company that does contract manufacturing but is not tagged "OEM" in the directory is not included. Listings change as certificates are renewed or lapse, so re-check directly with JAKIM before relying on any figure.
