INTERFOOD SHAREHOLDING COMPANY

Interfood Shareholding Company, known locally as Công ty Cổ phần Thực phẩm Quốc tế, is one of Vietnam’s leading beverage manufacturers. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Dong Nai Province, the company is best known for its Wonderfarm brand, which produces a wide range of nonalcoholic beverages including bottled milk tea, bird’s nest drinks, fruit juices, and coconut milk. With over three decades of continuous development, Interfood has become a well recognized name in Vietnam’s fast moving consumer goods sector and a key player in the beverage market.

The company operates a large scale production facility at Tam Phuoc Industrial Park in Bien Hoa City, supported by distribution offices in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Its products are distributed nationwide through an extensive retail and wholesale network, serving supermarkets, convenience stores, and export markets across Asia. Interfood’s long-term presence and adaptability have enabled it to navigate Vietnam’s dynamic consumer environment, maintaining brand loyalty while expanding its product range to meet evolving tastes and health trends.

Leadership and Shareholders

Interfood Shareholding Company is chaired by Shogo Okamoto, a Japanese national with extensive experience in food and beverage management across Asia. He is supported by Atsushi Kawasaki, who serves as General Director and is responsible for overseeing production, sales, and strategic planning. The company’s accounting and compliance operations are led by Nguyen H. Phong, Chief Accountant. Together, this management team combines international expertise with local market insight, ensuring strong corporate governance and operational efficiency.

Interfood’s ownership structure is dominated by foreign investment. The majority shareholder is Kirin Holdings Singapore Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of Japan’s Kirin Group, holding 95.66 percent of total shares. This partnership integrates Interfood into a global beverage ecosystem that leverages advanced manufacturing technology, quality assurance systems, and marketing expertise from one of the world’s leading beverage corporations. The company’s charter capital stands at approximately USD 35.8 million, with a workforce of 923 employees as of March 2025.

Financial Growth and Market Risks

Interfood reported strong financial results in 2023, continuing its steady growth trajectory. Revenue reached approximately USD 76.76 million, an increase of over nine percent compared with the previous year. Net profit rose by thirty-four percent to USD 8.57 million, supported by higher domestic consumption and strong brand performance in the nonalcoholic beverage segment. Total assets stood at USD 60.21 million, while equity reached USD 51.59 million, reflecting continued investor confidence and efficient capital management.

This upward trend underscores the company’s effective business strategy, cost optimization, and product diversification. However, Interfood remains exposed to typical sector risks including fluctuations in raw material prices, exchange rate volatility, and changing consumer preferences. As Vietnam’s beverage market becomes increasingly competitive with the rise of new domestic brands and international entrants, Interfood’s ability to maintain innovation and distribution efficiency will be central to its sustained profitability.

The next phase of Interfood’s strategy focuses on expanding its beverage portfolio, improving production automation, and strengthening its national distribution channels. Its operations in Dong Nai, coupled with regional branches in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, position the company strategically for both domestic market leadership and export expansion.
