Our story

Sri Nona Foods (formerly known as Cocoaland)’s journey has been one of reinvention – from our humble beginnings as a family-owned, local snacks and fruit gummy producer to now a major confectionary manufacturer that is listed on Bursa. Today, Sri Nona Foods is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd (F&NHB), after a full acquisition on 4 November 2022.

No matter the changes, our passion remains the same and that is to make snacking fun for everyone and staying close to our consumers, the trends and times.

At Sri Nona Foods, we firmly believe in halal-assured, quality products that are fun, tasty and made from ethically sourced ingredients. In line with our Vision to be a sustainable food & beverage leader in the region, we are constantly looking into ways to reduce our carbon footprint to keep the world green for now and generations to come. In fact, our sustainability best practices extend beyond operations and processions to providing healthier snack options through better nutrition.

With Lot 100 as our flagship brand, Sri Nona Foods is more than just the largest gummy candy producer in Malaysia. We are also an established contract manufacturer for local and multinational companies, producing chocolates, snacks, candy, biscuits and beverages.
