WILMAR

Wilmar International Limited is primarily an integrated agribusiness group. This means it functions as both a major manufacturer/processor (factory) and a significant trader/merchandiser.

Company Introduction:

Wilmar International Limited is Asia's leading agribusiness group, headquartered in Singapore, with extensive operations worldwide, including a very significant presence in Malaysia. Founded in 1991, the company has grown to become one of the largest listed companies by market capitalization on the Singapore Exchange.

Wilmar's business activities span the entire value chain of the agricultural commodity industry. This integrated model encompasses oil palm cultivation, edible oils refining, oilseeds crushing, sugar milling and refining, specialty fats, oleochemicals, biodiesel and fertilizer manufacturing, and grain processing. Beyond manufacturing, Wilmar also engages heavily in merchandising and distribution of a wide range of agricultural products globally, acting as a major trader of these commodities.

Its products are sold in over 50 countries, with a primary focus on China, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. In Malaysia, Wilmar operates numerous plantations, processing facilities, refineries, and distribution networks, making it a crucial player in the country's palm oil and other agricultural sectors.

Therefore, to classify Wilmar solely as a 'factory' or a 'trader' would be an oversimplification. It is a comprehensive, vertically integrated agribusiness that performs both manufacturing and trading functions on a massive scale.
