KUALA LUMPUR, 1 NOVEMBER 2019 - Leong Hup International Berhad ("Leong Hup International or "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has bagged a double recognition at the prestigious BrandLaureate BestBrands Awards 2019. The Company has been awarded the BrandLaureate World BestBrands in Consumer - Integrated Poultry, Egg & Livestock Feed Solutions, while its Executive Chairman, Mr Lau Chia Nguang, has been honoured with the Brandpreneur Leadership of the Year Award.

Following the successful listing of Leong Hup International on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia in May this year, the Company has added another feather in its cap with this year's awards by the BrandLaureate. Leong Hup International's Executive Director/Group Chief Executive Officer Tan Sri Francis Lau Tuang Nguang (Tan Sri Francis Lau) said the accolade is a testament to the Company's commitment to quality and innovation in the integrated poultry industry. "This is a recognition for all our hardworking and dedicated directors, management and employees, for they are the ones who have collectively contributed to the Company's success today," Tan Sri Francis Lau added.

Leong Hup International is one of the largest integrated producers of poultry, eggs and livestock feed in Southeast Asia and operates in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The Company generated revenue of RM5.7 billion for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 - its Malaysian operations contributed about 30% of group's revenue, while the remaining 70% were from the other four markets.

"As one of the region's leading integrated poultry operators, we have grown from strength to strength and will continue to work hard to produce safe, quality and affordable food for the population," Tan Sri Francis Lau said.

Simultaneously, Mr Lau Chia Nguang thanked the BrandLaureate for the honour. "Emphasis on excellence and continuous commitment to improve and innovate are the two key qualities that we, as a group, continue to drive and promote as a culture within our organisation," Mr Lau said following the presentation of the award during a gala dinner held at the Shangri-La Hotel Singapore.

The annual BrandLaureate World BestBrands award has been organised by The World Brands Foundation for the past 14 years and winning an award is a testament to a brand's strength and success as consumers seek such brands known for their quality and other value-added features.

Leong Hup International was listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia on May 16 this year, raising RM1.2 billion in one of the largest poultry-related initial public offering (IPO) to-date in Southeast Asia.
