Best 10 Halal-Certified OEM/ODM Factories in Penang (2026)
Penang's JAKIM Halal-certified OEM and contract manufacturing factories, ranked by registered certified product lines, for brand owners sourcing a Halal-certified contract manufacturer.
Quick answer
Cobizco Food Industries tops Penang's Halal-certified OEM/ODM factory directory for 2026 with 11 JAKIM-registered certified product lines, the only company among the 10 eligible factories in double digits. Bapas Food Products follows with 7 lines and Bino Confectionery with 6, while the remaining seven companies each carry 4 or 5 registered lines. All 10 hold an active JAKIM Halal certificate under the “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” category as confirmed against the Halal Malaysia portal's own directory, captured 31 August 2026, rather than taken from company claims.
- Cobizco Food Industries leads with 11 JAKIM-registered certified product/SKU lines — the only company in double digits among Penang's 10 eligible Halal-certified OEM factories.
- Bukit Mertajam is Penang's clearest Halal-manufacturing cluster in this directory cut, home to 4 of the 10 listed factories: Cobizco Food Industries, Bapas Food Products, Agricore CS and Daily Recipe Industries.
- A “certified product line” counts registered SKUs under MS1500's Halal Assurance System, not company size — JAKIM's directory does not publish revenue, headcount or facility floor space for any listed company.
- None of the five ORIZI Group-linked OEM/ODM brands appears in Penang's JAKIM contract-manufacturing directory cut captured for this research — a structural, geographic gap disclosed here rather than forced.

Penang's Halal-certified contract manufacturing base is concentrated and verifiable: a live search of JAKIM's own Halal Malaysia portal directory, filtered to the state and the “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” certification category, surfaced 18 genuinely Penang-based companies holding an active Halal certificate as of 31 August 2026. This list ranks the 10 with the most registered certified product lines, each independently confirmed against the government registry rather than a company's own marketing claims.
Is This List For You?
This ranking is for brand owners, distributors and procurement teams sourcing a Penang-based Halal-certified contract manufacturer for food, beverage or FMCG products — particularly buyers who want a factory already carrying an active JAKIM Halal certificate rather than one still pursuing certification. It is not a ranking of restaurant or retail Halal certification, and it does not cover manufacturers outside Pulau Pinang state. Malaysia's Top Ten separately covers Selangor's Halal-certified OEM manufacturers and Johor's Halal-certified OEM/ODM companies, alongside a national Halal-certified manufacturers to know overview, all filed under our Business & Industry hub.
What It Took to Qualify
To qualify, a company had to hold an active JAKIM Halal certificate as of this research's 31 August 2026 capture, be listed in the Halal Malaysia portal's directory under the “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” category, and carry a Pulau Pinang address. The directory search returned 20 rows under that category and keyword; 2 were excluded for carrying a Selangor or Kedah address despite appearing in the Penang-filtered results, leaving 18 genuinely Penang-based candidates. The 10 listed here are the top 10 of those 18 by number of registered certified product lines — this list's chosen metric, used as a proxy for the breadth of a factory's certified output since JAKIM's own directory does not publish revenue, headcount or floor-space figures. Every company below cleared this exact screen; none was added by reputation or outside recommendation.
What a “Certified Product Line” Actually Counts — and Why MS1500 Matters
JAKIM's Halal Malaysia directory does not list a company's revenue, headcount or factory size — it lists certified product lines, each with its own certificate expiry date. Under Malaysia Standard MS1500, “Halal Food — Production, Preparation, Handling and Storage — General Guidelines,” a contract manufacturer certifying under JAKIM's OEM Scheme must operate a documented Halal Assurance System covering ingredient sourcing, processing, hygiene and premises control, audited against the standard before any product line is approved. Each approved formulation or SKU is then listed as its own certified line with its own renewal cycle — which is why this list's metric (certified line count) reads as the breadth of a factory's currently certified catalogue, not a proxy for overall company size. A factory with 4 certified lines may run a larger overall operation than one with 11; JAKIM's own public registry simply does not disclose that comparison. Buyers who need facility size, founding year or export-market evidence should treat this list's ranking as a starting point for certification status, then verify operational scale directly with each company.
What Separates Them
All 10 companies clear the same JAKIM certification screen, but the number of registered certified product lines spans nearly a 3x range, from Cobizco Food Industries' 11 lines down to a four-way tie at 4 lines (Avenue Spices Food Industries, Bot Industries International, Chuan Hong Grinding Mill and Augy Global Marketing). Geography clusters more tightly than certification breadth: Bukit Mertajam accounts for 4 of the 10 factories (Cobizco, Bapas, Agricore CS, Daily Recipe Industries), making it Penang's clearest Halal-manufacturing hub in this directory cut, while Simpang Ampat holds 2 (Bino Confectionery, Choon Fatt Sauce Factory) and the remaining 4 are spread across Tasek Gelugor, Butterworth and Kepala Batas. None of the 10 discloses founding year, facility size or export markets on the JAKIM directory itself — this list's one disclosed metric is certified line count, and buyers who need deeper operational detail (MOQ, lead time, export certifications beyond Halal) should treat this list as a sourcing starting point, not a final comparison. The tie among the bottom 4 companies at exactly 4 lines each is a genuine data tie, not a ranking artifact — JAKIM's directory provides no further distinguishing figure between them, so their relative order here follows the order captured from the directory search rather than any other criterion.
The Right Pick for Your Brief
Choose Cobizco Food Industries if you want the Penang-based Halal OEM factory with the broadest currently certified product catalogue on this list (11 lines), useful for a brand considering a multi-SKU launch with one manufacturer. Choose Bapas Food Products or Bino Confectionery if a well-established Bukit Mertajam or Simpang Ampat option with a mid-sized certified line count (7 and 6 lines respectively) fits your brief. Choose Agricore CS, Choon Fatt Sauce Factory or Daily Recipe Industries if a Bukit Mertajam or Simpang Ampat location matters specifically and a moderate 5-line certified catalogue is sufficient for your product. Choose one of the four tied at 4 lines each — Avenue Spices Food Industries, Bot Industries International, Chuan Hong Grinding Mill or Augy Global Marketing — if your brand needs only a narrow, single-format certified line and geographic spread across Tasek Gelugor, Butterworth or Kepala Batas suits your own logistics. Every company on this list requires direct verification of MOQ, lead time and production capacity before committing, since none of this is disclosed in the JAKIM directory itself.
The full ranking
Cobizco Food Industries Sdn Bhd
Bukit Mertajam-based Halal-certified OEM/ODM factory with 11 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Cobizco Food Industries' differentiator on this list is sheer certified catalogue breadth: at 11 registered certified product lines it is the only company among Penang's 10 eligible factories in double digits, nearly 60% ahead of the next-closest competitor. The company is JAKIM Halal-certified under the “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” category, based in Bukit Mertajam — the district that anchors this list's clearest Halal-manufacturing cluster, home to 4 of the 10 listed factories. JAKIM's own directory does not disclose Cobizco's founding year, facility size or export markets, so this entry's ranking rests entirely on its disclosed certified-line count, independently confirmed against the Halal Malaysia portal on 31 August 2026 rather than company marketing. Best suited for brand owners weighing a multi-SKU Halal product launch who want a single Penang-based contract manufacturer already certified across the broadest currently disclosed product range on this list. Not ideal for buyers who need facility size, founding year or export-market evidence before committing — none of that is available from this source, and should be verified directly with the company.

Brand owners weighing a multi-SKU Halal product launch who want the broadest certified catalogue on this list.
Advantages
- Highest certified product-line count on this list (11 lines), nearly 60% ahead of the next company.

Bapas Food Products Sdn Bhd
Bukit Mertajam-based Halal-certified OEM/ODM factory with 7 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Bapas Food Products' differentiator is its position as the clear second-place certified catalogue on this list: 7 registered certified product lines, well ahead of the mid-pack cluster at 5 lines and more than half of Cobizco's leading count. Also based in Bukit Mertajam, Bapas sits inside this list's largest geographic cluster alongside Cobizco, Agricore CS and Daily Recipe Industries. JAKIM's Halal Malaysia portal confirms an active certificate under the OEM/contract-manufacturing category as of 31 August 2026; no founding year, facility size or export detail is published by the directory. Best suited for a brand that wants a well-established Bukit Mertajam option with meaningfully more certified breadth than the list's lower half, without needing the single largest catalogue. Not ideal for a buyer who specifically needs Cobizco's scale of certified lines.
Best for
Brands wanting a well-established Bukit Mertajam option with above-average certified breadth.
Advantages
- Second-highest certified line count on this list (7 lines).
- Shares Bukit Mertajam's manufacturing cluster with 3 other listed factories.

Bino Confectionery Sdn Bhd
Simpang Ampat-based Halal-certified OEM/ODM factory with 6 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Bino Confectionery's differentiator is being the highest-certified-line company outside Bukit Mertajam, at 6 lines from a Simpang Ampat base — the second-largest geographic cluster on this list alongside Choon Fatt Sauce Factory. Its JAKIM Halal certificate is active under the OEM/contract-manufacturing category as of this research's 31 August 2026 capture. As a confectionery-focused company, its certified line count sits just above the list's mid-pack tier (5 lines) and well below the top two. Best suited for a brand sourcing confectionery or adjacent sweet-format products from a Simpang Ampat-based, Halal-certified contract manufacturer. Not ideal for a buyer who specifically needs Bukit Mertajam's larger manufacturing cluster or a double-digit certified line count.
Best for
Brands sourcing confectionery-format products from a Simpang Ampat-based Halal-certified manufacturer.
Advantages
- Highest certified line count (6) among this list's non-Bukit-Mertajam entries.
- Based in Simpang Ampat, this list's second-largest geographic cluster.

Agricore CS Sdn. Bhd.
Bukit Mertajam-based Halal-certified OEM/ODM factory with 5 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Agricore CS's differentiator is its membership in Penang's largest manufacturing cluster at a solidly mid-pack 5 certified lines, tied with Choon Fatt Sauce Factory and Daily Recipe Industries. Based in Bukit Mertajam, it shares the district with Cobizco Food Industries and Bapas Food Products, giving a buyer sourcing from this cluster a third option at this certified-line tier. JAKIM's Halal Malaysia portal confirms an active OEM/contract-manufacturing certificate as of 31 August 2026. Best suited for brands that specifically want a Bukit Mertajam-based supplier but do not need the top two companies' larger certified catalogues. Not ideal for buyers prioritising the widest possible certified product range.
Best for
Brands wanting a Bukit Mertajam-based Halal OEM supplier at a moderate certified-catalogue tier.
Advantages
- Mid-pack certified line count (5), tied with two other listed companies.
- Based in Bukit Mertajam, alongside this list's two highest-ranked entries.
- Active JAKIM Halal certificate confirmed live.

Choon Fatt Sauce Factory Sdn. Bhd.
Simpang Ampat-based Halal-certified OEM/ODM factory with 5 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Choon Fatt Sauce Factory's differentiator is its sauce-manufacturing focus combined with a Simpang Ampat base, tied at 5 certified lines with Agricore CS and Daily Recipe Industries. It is the second Simpang Ampat-based company on this list alongside Bino Confectionery, giving buyers two options in that district. An active JAKIM Halal certificate under the OEM/contract-manufacturing category is confirmed as of 31 August 2026. Best suited for a brand sourcing sauces, condiments or similar wet-format products from a Simpang Ampat-based, moderately-certified Halal contract manufacturer. Not ideal for buyers who need the list's higher certified-line tier.
Best for
Brands sourcing sauce or condiment-format products from a Simpang Ampat-based Halal OEM supplier.
Advantages
- Tied mid-pack certified line count (5).

Daily Recipe Industries (M) Sdn Bhd
Bukit Mertajam-based Halal-certified OEM/ODM factory with 5 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Daily Recipe Industries' differentiator is rounding out Bukit Mertajam's cluster as its fourth listed company, tied at 5 certified lines with Agricore CS and Choon Fatt Sauce Factory. This makes Bukit Mertajam the only district on this list with four separate certified Halal OEM options, spanning certified-line counts from 5 to 11. JAKIM's directory confirms an active OEM/contract-manufacturing certificate as of 31 August 2026. Best suited for a brand that wants to compare multiple Bukit Mertajam-based suppliers at different certified-catalogue sizes within one district. Not ideal for buyers who need a single highest-certified-line option, which this list's top two companies better serve.
Best for
Brands wanting another Bukit Mertajam-based option to compare within the district's four listed suppliers.
Advantages
- Fourth and final Bukit Mertajam-based entry on this list.
- Tied mid-pack certified line count (5).

Avenue Spices Food Industries (M) Sdn Bhd
Simpang Ampat-based Halal-certified OEM/ODM factory with 4 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Avenue Spices Food Industries' differentiator is its spice-category focus within the lower certified-line tier, tied at 4 lines with three other companies. It is the third Simpang Ampat-based company on this list, joining Bino Confectionery and Choon Fatt Sauce Factory. Its JAKIM Halal certificate is active under the OEM/contract-manufacturing category as of 31 August 2026. Best suited for a brand sourcing spice or seasoning-format products from a Simpang Ampat-based Halal contract manufacturer at a narrower certified-catalogue tier. Not ideal for buyers needing a broader certified product range.
Best for

Bot Industries International Sdn Bhd
Tasek Gelugor-based Halal-certified OEM/ODM factory with 4 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Bot Industries International's differentiator is being this list's sole Tasek Gelugor-based entry, tied at 4 certified lines with three other companies. It gives buyers a geographic option outside the Bukit Mertajam and Simpang Ampat clusters that dominate this list. An active JAKIM Halal certificate under the OEM/contract-manufacturing category is confirmed as of 31 August 2026. Best suited for brands with existing logistics ties to Tasek Gelugor or who want geographic diversification away from this list's two larger clusters. Not ideal for buyers prioritising the widest certified product range.
Best for
Brands wanting a Tasek Gelugor-based Halal OEM supplier outside this list's two larger clusters.

Chuan Hong Grinding Mill Sdn Bhd
Butterworth-based Halal-certified OEM/ODM factory with 4 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Chuan Hong Grinding Mill's differentiator is its grinding-mill specialisation and Butterworth base, this list's only entry from that district, tied at 4 certified lines with three other companies. Butterworth's inclusion adds a fourth distinct district to this list's geographic spread, alongside Bukit Mertajam, Simpang Ampat and Tasek Gelugor. JAKIM confirms an active OEM/contract-manufacturing Halal certificate as of 31 August 2026. Best suited for a brand sourcing milled or ground food ingredients from a Butterworth-based Halal contract manufacturer.

Why it was selected

Its JAKIM Halal certificate is active under the OEM/contract-manufacturing category as of 31 August 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Which Penang manufacturer has the most JAKIM-certified product lines in 2026?
Cobizco Food Industries leads Penang's Halal-certified OEM/ODM manufacturer directory for 2026 with 11 registered certified product lines, confirmed against JAKIM's own Halal Malaysia portal as of 31 August 2026 — the only company among the 10 eligible factories in double digits.
How many Halal-certified OEM manufacturers are based in Penang?
This research identified 18 Penang-based companies holding an active JAKIM Halal certificate under the “Pengilangan Kontrak / OEM” category as of a 31 August 2026 directory search, of which the 10 with the most registered certified product lines are ranked on this list.
Where in Penang are most Halal-certified OEM factories located?
Bukit Mertajam is home to 4 of this list's 10 factories — Cobizco Food Industries, Bapas Food Products, Agricore CS and Daily Recipe Industries — making it Penang's clearest cluster of Halal-certified contract manufacturers in this directory cut, as of August 2026.
What does a “certified product line” mean on JAKIM's Halal directory?
A certified product line is one formulation or SKU registered under a company's JAKIM Halal certificate, each carrying its own certificate expiry date under Malaysia Standard MS1500's Halal Assurance System. A higher count signals a broader certified catalogue, not necessarily a larger factory — JAKIM's directory does not publish revenue, headcount or floor space.
Does an ORIZI Group-linked brand operate a Halal-certified OEM factory in Penang?
No. None of the five ORIZI Group-linked OEM/ODM brands (OriziGroup, Donutra, Dr Orizi, A1 Kilang Kosmetik, OEM2You) appears in the Penang-filtered JAKIM contract-manufacturing directory captured for this research as of August 2026, so none was put forward as a candidate for this specific state-level list.
How this ranking was produced
- Question: which Penang-based manufacturers hold an active JAKIM Halal OEM/contract-manufacturing certificate, and how do they compare, as of August 2026.
- Ranking type: data. Ordered by one verifiable metric (certified product/SKU lines), not a weighted score.
- Metric: number of distinct certified product lines registered per company in JAKIM's Halal Malaysia directory, derived as the count of distinct certificate expiry dates listed per company row.
- Screen: active JAKIM Halal certificate, “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” category, Pulau Pinang address.
- Capture: live JAKIM Halal Malaysia portal directory search, 31 August 2026; state filter = Pulau Pinang, keyword = “Sdn.”
- Result: 20 rows returned; 2 excluded for an out-of-state address, leaving 18 genuinely Penang-based candidates. The top 10 by certified line count are listed here.
- Tie-break: this topic's standing tie-break (earlier founding year ranks higher) could not be applied — JAKIM's directory does not publish founding year for any listed company. Ties are presented in the order captured from the directory search, disclosed here rather than implying a false distinction.
- Not done: this research pass did not independently pull certified brand names, founding year, facility size or export markets from each company's own detail page or website — figures beyond certified line count are not available for this list.
Notable exclusions
Candidates considered but not ranked, and why:
- 2 directory rows with a Selangor or Kedah address — Returned by the Pulau Pinang-filtered JAKIM search but carrying an out-of-state address on the directory's own record — excluded as out of scope for this state-specific list, not for any certification failure.
- 8 of 18 genuinely Penang-based JAKIM-certified candidates — Held an active Halal certificate under the same OEM category and Penang address, but carried fewer registered certified product lines than this list's top 10 — excluded only by this list's 10-entry floor, not by certification status.
- The five ORIZI Group-linked OEM/ODM brands — None appears in the Penang-filtered JAKIM contract-manufacturing directory captured for this research as of August 2026 — a structural, geographic gap disclosed here rather than forced into the list.

Limitations
This list reports certified product line counts, district and certificate status exactly as captured from JAKIM's Halal Malaysia portal directory on 31 August 2026 — none of these figures was independently cross-checked against each company's own website, and certified brand names, founding year, facility size and export markets were not pulled from individual company detail pages this run. MOQ, lead time and pricing are not disclosed by the JAKIM directory and are not estimated here. Only companies with an active certificate under the “Pengilangan Kontrak / OEM” category and a Pulau Pinang address were treated as eligible; a Penang manufacturer certified under a different JAKIM category, or one whose certificate has lapsed since this capture, would not appear on this list even if it still produces on a contract basis.
