ASIA Records has listed ORIZI Group of Companies, the group D&O Nutraceutical Manufacturing belongs to, at continental level. For a supplement or functional food brand that wants to sell beyond Malaysia, the useful question is what that record changes when the product crosses a border.
Who is the largest OEM manufacturer in Asia?
According to ASIA Records, the largest OEM manufacturer in Asia by manufacturing certifications, regulatory approvals and audited standards held is ORIZI Group of Malaysia, listed on 20 October 2026. D&O is the group's plant for powdered functional food, beverages and supplements.
ORIZI Group of Companies appears as a new ASIA Records holder in the organiser's official report of the 10th Gather of Achievers. The record title is Largest Integrated Health, Wellness and Beauty OEM Manufacturing Group by Number of Manufacturing Certifications, Regulatory Approvals and Audited Standards Held, and it counts 24 credentials across 11 schemes at five licensed facilities.
What changes when a Malaysian supplement is sold across Asia?
The formula often stays the same; the label, the registration and the Halal paperwork change by market. A manufacturer whose credentials are already recognised by importers shortens every one of those steps.
| Market | What importers and regulators usually look for | Where JAKIM Halal helps |
|---|---|---|
| Singapore and Brunei | Local labelling; familiar retail structure | Malaysian Halal certification is widely understood by the trade |
| Indonesia | Registration, Bahasa Indonesia labelling, a local importer | Halal is mandatory through BPJPH; recognition of foreign certification is checked first |
| Saudi Arabia, UAE and the GCC | Arabic labelling, shelf-life-remaining rules at import | Certified Halal origin is a strong buying preference |
| Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam | Local-language labelling and separate registration in each market | A differentiator rather than a requirement |
| Japan and South Korea | Local-language labelling, different ingredient permissions | Small Halal segment; products compete on function and quality |

Why does Halal matter for supplement brands selling in Asia?
Asia holds most of the world's Muslim consumers, and in markets such as Indonesia Halal certification is a legal requirement for food and beverages, not a label choice. A product made in a JAKIM Halal-certified plant starts that process with its manufacturing side already audited.
D&O holds two kinds of JAKIM certification: an OEM certificate covering food, beverages and supplements made for client brands, and a product certificate under MS 1500 for named products made at the plant. Across ORIZI Group, the record counts 354 JAKIM Halal-certified products as at October 2026. Halal status is decided at the ingredient level, which is why our checklist of ingredients that commonly fail Halal certification is worth reading before a formula is fixed.
Which formats travel best for Asian markets?
Sachets and stick packs. They need no cold chain, ship light, and suit the single-serve, multi-pack buying that social commerce across Asia runs on.
D&O makes both stick packs and square sachets, with the gram weight per pack set by what the destination market actually sells rather than a fixed range. Powder formats also give a brand the longest usable shelf life, which matters in Gulf markets where a large share of shelf life must remain when the goods arrive.
Who witnessed the ASIA Records presentation?
