We see many opportunities in Southeast Asia and Vietnam. We recognize the potential growth in this region, where milk and other dairy products are an integral part of people’s diet and the demand for high-quality, hygienically packaged on-the-go beverage are increasing with the growing size of the young and middle class population. We believe that our common future success relies on our continued ability to innovate, identifying new ways to meet the changing needs of these consumers and, working closely together, deliver safe, and sustainable nourishment to them wherever they are.  

Our commitment to this market has never been stronger and we continue to invest in Vietnam. We are expanding our packaging material factory in Binh Duong. We anticipate the new line to be fully commissioned by quarter 3 of next year. With this, we hope to continue to serve our customers with excellence and, together, we capture new opportunities and accelerate growth.
