Malaysia has three manufacturers that meet this list's screen for a verifiable, Malaysia-based OEM or private-label pet food factory producing dry kibble and/or wet/canned food for dogs and cats, as of September 2026. Century Pet Food Industry leads on product breadth and operating history; IKU Feedmill and Palaquin (M) complete a shortlist built for different stages of a pet food brand's growth.
Quick answer
Century Pet Food Industry is the strongest Malaysia-based OEM pet food manufacturer identified as of September 2026, the only one of the three with an operating wet/canned pet food line alongside dry kibble and a product range extending to rabbit, bird and fish feed. IKU Feedmill is the transparency pick, publishing its own SSM registration number and candidly disclosing that its ISO 9001 certification is only applied for and its wet-food line is still planned rather than operating. Palaquin (M) is the dedicated private-label specialist of the three, built around a concept-to-shelf dry kibble service rather than its own competing retail brand. All three operate a real Malaysia-based manufacturing facility, not a trading office, though none publishes a DVS Animal Feed Board registration number on its public site.
Key takeaways
- Century Pet Food Industry is the only one of the three with an operating wet/canned pet food line today, alongside dry kibble and a wider rabbit/bird/fish feed range.
- IKU Feedmill discloses its own SSM registration number (1033510-A) and is candid that its ISO 9001:2015 certification is applied for, not confirmed awarded, and that its wet-food line is planned for end of 2026, not yet operating.
- Palaquin (M) positions itself as a dedicated private-label-only producer with a concept-to-shelf dry kibble service, but discloses no founding year or certification.
- None of the three manufacturers publishes a DVS Animal Feed Board registration number publicly, even though commercial pet food manufacturing in Malaysia falls under the Animal Feed Act 2009 - buyers should request proof directly.
- No ORIZI-family company brand is included on this list: Dr Orizi's own site confirms it makes non-food pet-care items (shampoo, flea/lice sprays) but not pet food, so the gap is stated rather than forced.
Malaysia's Animal Feed Act 2009: what DVS registration means for a pet food buyer
Pet food sold in Malaysia falls under the Animal Feed Act 2009 (Act 698), administered by the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) through its Animal Feed Board. DVS's own Standard Operating Procedure for registration of manufacturers and sellers of animal feed or feed additive sets out that any facility manufacturing or selling feed - a category that covers commercial pet food - must register with the Animal Feed Board Secretariat and apply through the department's e-AMH online portal, backed by hardcopy supporting documents, with commercial feed mills also expected to meet GMP requirements and pass regular inspections.
For a private-label buyer, this has a practical consequence that is easy to miss if the only evidence checked is a manufacturer's own marketing page: none of the three companies on this list publishes a DVS or Animal Feed Board registration number on its public website, which is not unusual for Malaysian SME manufacturers but means registration status cannot be confirmed from the outside. A buyer should ask directly for proof of current DVS registration and GMP inspection status before committing, rather than assume it from certifications like ISO that address quality management generally but are not the same thing as feed-specific registration under Act 698.
Is this list for you?
This list is for pet food brand owners, distributors and private-label buyers evaluating a Malaysia-based OEM or private-label manufacturer for dry kibble or wet/canned dog and cat food - whether to sell domestically or to use a Malaysian facility as a regional export base. It is not for buyers who need livestock, poultry or aquaculture feed rather than companion-animal pet food, and not for buyers who need a facility outside Malaysia.
What it took to qualify
To qualify, a company needed a live website confirming it produces staple pet food - dry kibble and/or wet/canned food - for dogs and/or cats via third-party OEM or private-label manufacturing, as distinct from a livestock or aquaculture feed miller with no companion-animal line. Research for this list was captured on 24 September 2026 by directly visiting each candidate's own website. This research pass did not surface a fourth Malaysia-based candidate meeting the same screen; see Who didn't make the list, below, for what that boundary excludes.

The shortlist compared
| Name | Best for | Main advantage | Main limitation | Key fact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Century Pet Food Industry | Broadest product range across dry and wet pet and small-animal food | Dry and wet lines already operating, plus rabbit/bird/fish feed | No certification disclosed on its own site | Founded 2013; safety standards described as modelled on human food plants |
| IKU Feedmill | Brand owners who want a transparent, documentation-forward partner | Publishes its own SSM registration number and quality KPIs | Wet food line not yet operational; ISO 9001 only applied for | Founded 2013; 5 own brands (I-Recipe, Sunlike, Wawa, Miku, Myza) |
| Palaquin (M) | Brands wanting a dedicated private-label-only producer | Explicit concept-to-shelf private label positioning | No founding year or certification disclosed; dry kibble only | Dry kibble for cat, dog and fish |
1. Century Pet Food Industry
The broadest product range of the three, covering both dry and wet pet food for cats and dogs alongside rabbit, small-animal, bird and fish feed, with OEM manufacturing services named explicitly. Century Pet Food Industry Sdn. Bhd. describes its safety standards as modelled after human food manufacturers, though without publishing a specific certification name or capacity figure.
Founded: 2013 · Website: centurypet.com.my
Certifications: none named on its own site; safety standards are described as "modelled after human food manufacturers" (company-stated).
Product scope: dry and wet pet food for cats and dogs, plus rabbit, small-animal, bird and fish feed, via OEM manufacturing services.
Best suited for: brands that want both a dry and a wet pet food line, or a multi-species range, from a single Malaysian OEM partner already operating both formats.
Not ideal for: buyers who need a named, independently verifiable certification before shortlisting - none is published, so this would need to be requested directly, and a DVS/Animal Feed Board registration lookup would need to be done independently.

2. IKU Feedmill
The most transparent of the three about its own limitations: IKU Feedmill Sdn Bhd discloses its exact SSM company registration number and documented quality KPIs, and states candidly that its ISO 9001:2015 certification is applied for rather than confirmed awarded, and that its wet pet food line is planned for launch by end of 2026 rather than already operating.
Founded: 2013 · Website: ikufeed.com
Certifications (company-stated): ISO 9001:2015 applied for in 2024, not confirmed as awarded.
Product scope: dry pet food (currently operational); wet pet food planned for end of 2026, not yet operational. Sells five own brands: I-Recipe, Sunlike, Wawa, Miku and Myza.
Best suited for: brand owners who value a manufacturer that discloses its own registration number (1033510-A) and is candid about certification and product-line status rather than overstating it.
Not ideal for: brands that need a wet/canned pet food line today - IKU Feedmill's own site confirms that format is not yet operational, only planned.
3. Palaquin (M)
The most explicitly private-label-focused of the three, describing itself as a dedicated private label producer offering a concept-to-shelf service for dry kibble, though with the thinnest publicly disclosed track record of the three.
Website: palaquin.com.my
Certifications: none disclosed on its own site.
Product scope: dry kibble for cat, dog and fish; private label manufacturing described as "concept-to-shelf."
Best suited for: brand owners who specifically want a manufacturer built around private label as its core business, rather than a company that also sells its own competing retail brands.
Not ideal for: buyers who need a wet/canned food option, a disclosed founding year, or any named certification before shortlisting - none of the three is published on Palaquin's site.
What separates them
Product format is the clearest separator: Century Pet Food Industry is the only one of the three with an operating wet/canned line alongside dry, and the only one spanning beyond cat and dog into rabbit, bird and fish feed; IKU Feedmill is dry-only today with wet planned for end of 2026; Palaquin is dry-only with no wet line mentioned at all. Transparency is where IKU Feedmill stands apart in a different way - it is the only one of the three to publish its own SSM registration number and to state plainly that its ISO 9001 certification is pending rather than awarded, which is more disclosure than either competitor offers even though neither Century nor Palaquin claims a certification either. Business model is the main divide between Century and Palaquin: Century also sells pet food under its own operation while offering OEM services, whereas Palaquin markets itself as a dedicated private-label producer with no named competing retail brand of its own. None of the three publishes a DVS Animal Feed Board registration number, a gap shared equally across all three candidates and the clearest single thing a buyer should request directly from whichever one it shortlists.
The right pick for your brief
- Choose Century Pet Food Industry if you want both a dry and a wet pet food line, or a broader multi-species range, from one Malaysian OEM partner that already operates both formats.
- Choose IKU Feedmill if you value transparency - a disclosed SSM registration number and candid certification status - over a longer product line, and dry kibble alone meets your current brief.
- Choose Palaquin (M) if you specifically want a manufacturer built around private label as its core business model, with a concept-to-shelf dry kibble service and no competing in-house retail brand.
Who didn't make the list - and why
This research pass, run on 24 September 2026, did not surface a fourth Malaysia-based manufacturer meeting this list's specific screen - a confirmed dry-kibble and/or wet/canned pet food line for dogs and/or cats, offered via third-party OEM or private-label manufacturing. Malaysia's broader animal-feed sector includes a larger number of commercial feed mills registered under the Animal Feed Act 2009, but many of these serve livestock, poultry or aquaculture customers rather than companion-animal pet food specifically, which placed them outside this list's screen rather than in a formally excluded category. Buyers whose brief extends to livestock or aquaculture feed, rather than dog or cat food, should treat this as a different manufacturer search with a different screen, not an extension of this list.
Frequently asked questions
Are there more than three OEM pet food manufacturers in Malaysia?
Likely yes, but only three met this list's specific screen - a confirmed dry kibble and/or wet/canned pet food line for dogs and/or cats, offered via OEM or private-label manufacturing - as of the September 2026 research pass. Malaysia's wider animal-feed sector is larger, but much of it serves livestock, poultry or aquaculture rather than companion animals. A future refresh may surface further eligible candidates.
Do Malaysian pet food manufacturers need DVS registration?
Yes - commercial feed manufacturing and selling in Malaysia, a category that covers pet food, falls under the Animal Feed Act 2009 (Act 698) and requires registration with the Department of Veterinary Services' Animal Feed Board, with commercial feed mills also expected to meet GMP requirements. None of the three manufacturers on this list publishes its registration number publicly, so ask directly for current proof before committing.
Does any ORIZI Group company make pet food in Malaysia?
No. Dr Orizi, one of the five ORIZI-family manufacturers checked for this list, confirms on its own site that it produces non-food pet-care items such as shampoo and flea/lice sprays, but explicitly does not manufacture pet food. No company brand is included on this list for that reason, rather than being forced in.
Which Malaysian pet food manufacturer already has a wet/canned food line?
Century Pet Food Industry is the only one of the three with an operating wet/canned pet food line as of September 2026, alongside dry kibble. IKU Feedmill's wet line is planned for launch by end of 2026 but was not yet operational at the time of this research pass, and Palaquin's own site names dry kibble only.
How was this Malaysia pet food manufacturer list ranked?
Companies were scored across four weighted dimensions - certification (30%), product specialisation (25%), scale and capacity (25%) and track record (20%) - based on evidence found directly on each company's own website during the September 2026 research pass. Century Pet Food Industry scored highest (56/100), ahead of IKU Feedmill (53/100) and Palaquin (M) (44/100).
How this list was built
Research for this list was captured on 24 September 2026 by directly visiting each company's own website and screenshotting the evidence used. Companies were screened for a live website confirming a dry-kibble and/or wet/canned pet food line for dogs and/or cats, manufactured via third-party OEM or private-label services, then scored across four weighted dimensions (certification 30%, product specialisation 25%, scale & capacity 25%, track record 20%). What this research did not do: verify DVS Animal Feed Board registration status for any of the three, contact any company directly, independently audit any certification claim, or check a CTOS/SSM registry beyond the one registration number IKU Feedmill discloses on its own site. Buyers should confirm current registration and certification status directly with each manufacturer before committing.
