History

Malaysia Dairy Industries Private Limited began in 1963 as a joint venture between the Thio family and the Australian Dairy Produce Board. Five years later, MDI became a locally- owned entity after the Thio family bought over the Australian interest in the company.
Mission and Vision

Vision 2000 - MDI's new plan for the 21 Century
Over  the last decade, MDI has seen a tremendous growth in demand for its perishable products. Demands for pasteurised products have increased from 50,000 litres per month to more than 1.3 million litres per month today.

At the same time, Vitagen has become so popular, among adults especially children, that MDI has had to expand production capacity to meet the growing demands.

These are just two examples. In fact, a trend of continued growth leading well into the next century is expected.

And as MDI prepares for this growth, it has already built a 5-storey extension to its headquarters to provide greater capacity and scope for manufacturing in the future. While Malaysia Milk Sdn Bhd, its Malaysian subsidairy, has also completed its sophisticated new building to meet the needs of the Malaysian consumers.

To meet the challenges ahead, MDI is focusing on Vision 2000 which will cover every aspect of business, involving every member of our staff and at every level of the company.
