Singapore Food Manufacturing Industry Directory 3

Singapore’s food manufacturing industry has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Today, it counts among its accolades modern processing technologies and a strong reputation for food safety and quality. These have enabled Singaporean food manufacturers to successfully sell their products not only in our domestic market but also to far flung corners around the world.

As the lead government agency for local food manufacturing companies, SPRING Singapore works closely with partner agencies to further enhance the performance of the food manufacturing sector. These include close collaborations with key stakeholders such as the Singapore Food Manufacturers’ Association (SFMA), Singapore Manufacturers’ Federation (SMa), Singapore Malay Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SMCCI) and Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), the sole custodian of Halal certification in Singapore, to drive industry growth.

As the enterprise development agency for growing innovative companies and fostering a competitive SME sector, SPRING provides a host of capability development programmes to give SMEs a leg up in business. SMEs in the food manufacturing industry are encouraged to use these programmes to upgrade their capabilities in terms of technology and innovation, branding, management development and access to markets. Furthermore, the Food Innovation and Resource Centre (FIRC) was set up together with Singapore Polytechnic to help SMEs bring innovative food concepts

to reality by using the most appropriate technologies.

This food manufacturing directory was created to showcase the capabilities of local enterprises in the food industry. The companies listed serve as a good representation of the diverse food manufacturing sub-sectors in Singapore, adding vibrancy to the range of products and services available.

We invite industry players from around the world to leverage on Singapore’s strong reputation as a trusted hub and commitment to food safety to build strategic alliances that will seed new product ideas and optimise resources to improve productivity.

We look forward to taking the industry to even higher levels of excellence, where our companies develop and deliver innovative, high value-added products and services for the global marketplace.

SPRING Singapore

Foreword


Singapore’s food industry has been a significant component of our growing economy. Leveraging on our strategic location, world-class infrastructure and connectivity, skilled manpower and reputation for high quality standards, the country is well positioned to become the next food hub, playing host to numerous international enterprises.

The food manufacturing industry is made up of some 750 companies, dominated by mainly small and medium enterprises. These companies span 17 sub-sectors, ranging from flavours, sauces, ready meals, noodles, sausage making to confectionery, chocolates and beverages. Despite their size, Singapore’s food manufacturers are not confined to the domestic market. They are keen to venture overseas and many have gained footholds in various parts of the world from traditional markets in the Asean region and emerging global markets such as the Middle East and Russia.

In 2008, the industry output and value-added amounted to S$7 billion and S$1.5 billion respectively. Singapore’s total food exports reached S$7.5 billion in 2009. The global demand for good quality food that is safe for consumption has helped to increase exports of made-in-Singapore food products.

With food science and technological innovation gaining importance in the manufacturing value chain, Singapore food manufacturers are quick to invest in R&D to cater to a wider consumer base, improve packaging and increase product shelf life. Industry players also take pride in their commitment to strict food safety standards — many are certified to international food safety standards such as the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), ISO 22000 and BRC — which help them gain a competitive edge in the global arena. Increasingly, many are also exploring certification to SS 540, a Singapore Standard on Business Continuity Management to help businesses prepare for crises.

About AVA’s Food Safety Partnership Scheme

About AVA’s Food Safety Partnership Scheme

The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) is responsible for ensuring a resilient supply of safe food. AVA also ensures the health of animals and plants, safeguards the welfare of animals and facilitates agri-trade for Singapore.

Food safety is a shared responsibility by the government, the food industry and consumers. AVA introduced the Food Safety Partnership Scheme in 2003 to encourage the food industry to set higher standards in food safety assurance and take a more proactive role in educating the public on food safety.

The scheme recognises exemplary food manufacturers and importers, supermarket operators and food retailers, who have consistently maintained high standards of food safety and commited themselves to food safety consumer education. It also provides a visible way to show a company’s commitment to the well-being of Singaporeans and assure the public of the safety of their products. Food Safety Partners are also recognised as role models for other members in the food industry. As a Food Safety Partner, companies can use the food safety logo on their publicity materials as well as on their product packaging. A company’s status as a Food Safety Partner will be reviewed every two years.


About Healthier Choice Symbol Programme

Healthier Choice Symbol Nutrition Labelling Programme administered by Health Promotion Board, Singapore

The Healthier Choice Symbol (HCS) on packaged food products indicates that they are healthier options as compared to products within the same food category, and this helps consumers to make informed food choices when grocery shopping.

Products carrying the HCS symbol are generally lower in total fat, saturated fat, sodium and sugar. Some are also higher in dietary fibre, calcium and whole-grains as compared to similar products within the same food category. Each food category has a separate set of nutritional criteria to adhere to.

Seven in ten Singaporeans were found to be aware of the HCS and 69% had used this symbol to assist them in making healthier food choices. Manufacturers looking for an added advantage for their product can consider carrying the HCS.

To date, there are guidelines covering over 70 food categories. To find out if your product is eligible for the HCS, you may download the updated nutrition guidelines from the link below. You can also obtain information on application procedures, required supporting documents, regulations and guidance on labelling and marketing of HCS products, and view the list of products currently carrying the HCS.

PROCESSED MEAT

COMPANY PROFILE

Established in 1993, Golden Bridge Foods Manufacturing produces a variety of hams, stuffed fish and seafood products, as well as eastern and western sausage products under in-house brand names like Golden Bridge and Kelly’s. The first sausage production plant in Singapore to obtain ISO 22000 and HACCP certification, Golden Bridge focuses on providing consumers with an ever-increasing range of flavoursome and high quality sausages and stuffed meat products.

For the company, sausage making goes beyond the simple process of stuffing meat into shape.

COMPANY PROFILE

Established in 1974 under the name Hock Seng Food Pte Ltd, Hosen Group began as a provision shop retailing and distributing fast-moving consumer goods. With no local brands of canned food in Singapore in the 1980s, the company saw an opportunity to create their own house brands, namely Hosen (Canned Vegetables/Fruits/Honey), Highway (Canned Meat/Peanut Butter), Fortune (Canned Seafood/Fish Products), that would cater to increasingly affluent Singaporean consumers. In pursuit of this aspiration, the Hosen brand was born in 1987.

The company has since grown to become a leading importer, exporter and distributor in 30 countries around the world. The brand recently underwent a revamp of its logo, packaging and communication material, giving way to a younger, more vibrant and appealing outlook. Hosen also expanded its canned food range to include products such as aloe vera cubes in various juices and Hosen Select pasta sauces.

Hosen is actively showcased in trade shows, consumer fairs and supermarket events. These events give the brand the opportunity to allow customers to experience products with the “Freshly Picked and Packed” difference. The company believes in constant progression and growth, and aims to develop about five new products annually.

Key business and services- Manufacturer and distributor of canned food products, including fruits, vegetables, meat, pasta sauces and bread spreads

Overseas presence- Factories in China, Thailand - Exports to Asia Pacific, Africa, Middle East
