Aboitiz Foods acquires Diasham Resources to enhance presence in specialty nutrition space

“This acquisition strengthens our specialty nutrition portfolio and positions us to deliver broader, high-quality animal nutrition and additive solutions to our customers. Building on Diasham’s strong foundation in animal nutrition, we will leverage our combined expertise to drive innovation, accelerate growth, and expand our presence in this space,” said Eric Nojac, Business CEO at Aboitiz Foods.

Tuck Onn Chow, outgoing owner, Chairman, and CEO at Diasham, said: “Finding the right partner to take this legacy forward was extremely important to us. Aboitiz Foods not only shares our values but also brings the vision and scale needed to bring Diasham’s expertise to more customers across Asia. I am confident this next chapter will deliver even greater opportunities for growth and innovation.”

Strengthening distribution and regional reach

With its established distribution network across the Asia Pacific—including Thailand, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia—Diasham brings new depth to Aboitiz Foods’ regional footprint.

Its trusted, long-standing partnerships with well-recognized industry players further strengthen Aboitiz Foods’ ability to deliver value and support customers across diverse markets.

“This acquisition gives us a more complete range of products and solutions to offer our customers across the region. Diasham has built a strong legacy and developed deep customer relationships over many decades; factors that mattered very much in our decision to engage in this transaction. We look forward to carrying on the legacy and to working with the talented team at Diasham to continue to enhance the ways in which we add value to our customers’ businesses across the region,” said Tristan Aboitiz, President and CEO of Aboitiz Foods.

Integrating Diasham enhances Aboitiz Foods’ ability to serve customers across the food value chain through a broader catalogue of animal nutrition and health solutions.

This acquisition builds on Aboitiz Foods’ established success in Asia, starting with its first international investment in Vietnam over a decade ago and further strengthened by the 2018 acquisition of Gold Coin Management Holdings (Gold Coin), now Aboitiz Foods’ largest operation outside the Philippines.

Investing in talent and expertise

Beyond products and geographic reach, Aboitiz Foods also sees this acquisition as an opportunity to strengthen its talent base and technical expertise.

“We’re excited about what this means for our customers. By combining our strengths with Diasham’s expertise, we are better equipped to deliver more targeted solutions backed by skilled teams,” said Louis Marie Gallois, Vice President for Specialty Nutrition at Aboitiz Foods.

This strategic move represents another step forward in Aboitiz Foods’ broader vision to sustainably feed Asia’s growth from mill to meal.

Diasham’s advanced technologies and decades of expertise strengthen Aboitiz Foods’ specialty nutrition capabilities, supporting the development of high-quality animal nutrition and health solutions across the region.
