Establishment
Munchy's started in 1991, in a small town in the South of Malaysia, Batu Pahat. The Munchy's origins started with the two brothers SK Tan and LK Tan setting up Munchy Food Industries. With an initial investment of RM80,000 the brothers developed the company to its current state, with the involvement of their siblings, CK Tan and Net Tan.
Munchy's production capacity increased by the year as the brothers worked towards their goal to market Munchy's globally. The first destination for international expansion was South Africa. Subsequently, the brothers established a partnership with a reputable MNC chocolate company that allowed them to extend Munchy's product range to include chocolate wafers.
International expansion
