Newly Weds Foods Thailand Invests 1 Billion Baht in New Factory

Newly Weds Foods sees Thailand as a center for Japanese-style breadcrumb production and invests 1 billion baht to establish a new factory, expanding production by 30%.

          Newly Weds Foods (Thailand) has invested 1 billion baht in a new factory in Samut Prakan, spanning over 3.2 rai. This facility is set to increase autobake Japanese-style breadcrumb production capacity by 30%, positioning Thailand as a center point for cutting-edge breadcrumb manufacturing. The warehouse can store up to 2,400 pallets, with the official grand opening scheduled for March 17.

          Mr. Antony Cummins, Managing Director of Newly Weds Foods South East Asia, is a leading producer of Japanese-style breadcrumbs, batter, bakery flour, and seasoning solution, including seasoning and sauces. He revealed that the company allocated a budget of over 1 billion baht. With the project having started in August 2022, the company planned and invested in increasing production capacity by establishing a new factory in Samut Prakan on a 3-rai plot acquired in 2005, and the construction was completed by the end of 2024. The new production line officially launched on January 2025, with the grand opening ceremony set for March 17, 2025.

          The new factory highlights a total area of 5,200 square meters and an 8,000-square-meter production facility, with a towering height of 22 meters. It’s designed to store 2,400 pallets. The upper level houses a brand-new production line for Japanese-style breadcrumbs, equipped with an autobake oven for cutting crisp bread — an exclusive, patented technology held by Newly Weds Foods.

          Mr. Anthony said that the key feature of the new facility is a 100-kilogram dough mixer, which can produce up to 2,400 kilograms of breadcrumbs per hour, representing a 30% increase in production efficiency compared to the previous facility. This increase allows the company to better meet customer demand both locally and internationally. The factory has now been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is in the process of receiving Halal and BRC certifications, which are expected shortly. The main goal of the new facility is to evaluate the production capacity of Japanese-style breadcrumbs, making it one of the world‘s most advanced manufacturing sites.

          “Today’s achievement is a result of the dedication and hard work of the entire Newly Weds Foods Thailand team, who have poured their energy and intellect into this project. This effort was supported by our engineering team from Newly Weds Foods Chicago and various partners. We also want to express our deep gratitude to the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) for supporting this project, which reassures our continued investment in Thailand. Finally, we thank our customers for their trust and support of Newly Weds Foods over the past 35 years,” Mr. Anthony said.

          Newly Weds Foods Thailand has now continually enhanced and diversified its product offerings. Besides Japanese-style breadcrumbs, the company now produces batter, seasoning solutions, sauces, and syrups. The products are exported to over 47 countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Poland, India, China, and the Philippines.

          Newly Weds Foods Thailand was founded in 1989 as a subsidiary of New Food Coatings Australia, a joint venture between Newly Weds Foods Inc. (USA) and George Weston Foods Limited (Australia). Initially known as Thai Food Coatings, the company received technical support from the Newly Weds Foods Chicago team, which helped the company quickly gain recognition in the seafood and processed chicken industries as a leading producer of high-quality Japanese breadcrumbs and related ingredients. In 1995, the company relocated its office and factory to Samut Prakan and pioneered the first Japanese-style breadcrumb manufacturing facility in Thailand.
