Century Pacific Food

What Century Pacific Food does

Century Pacific Food Inc. (PSE: CNPF) is one of the largest branded consumer food companies in the Philippines, founded in 1978 as Century Canning Corporation and headquartered in Pasig City. The company manufactures and markets a diversified portfolio of consumer packaged goods across marine (Century Tuna, 555, LIGO, Lucky 7, Fresca, Blue Bay, Century Quality), meat (Argentina, 555 Carne, Hunts, Swift, Wow, Shanghai), milk and mixes (Angel, Birch Tree Fortified, Choco Hero, Home Pride), coconut (Coco Mama, Vita Coco under license), plant-based alternatives (unMEAT, including unMEAT Fish-Free Tuna and Loma Linda), and pet food (Goodest). It operates manufacturing facilities in General Santos (tuna and coconut), Laguna (meat), Taguig (milk and mixes), Zamboanga (sardines), and three coconut processing hubs in Mindanao (General Santos, Misamis Occidental via Coco Harvest Inc., and South Cotabato via the Roxas Sigma and Tupi acquisitions).

The company makes money through two primary channels: branded domestic sales through one of the Philippines' widest distribution networks covering 800,000+ points of sale and reaching 9 of 10 Filipino households, and OEM tuna and coconut exports serving 80+ countries. Branded domestic sales grew 13% by volume in FY2025, while OEM exports grew 2%. Key OEM and retail partnerships include a Php 14 billion five-year Vita Coco supply contract commencing January 2026, plus unMEAT distribution through Walmart (2,000+ US stores), Albertsons (~2,000 US stores), and Woolworths Australia, and specialty vegan e-commerce platforms GTFO and Vejii.

The company is controlled by the Po family through parent Century Canning Corporation (Century Pacific Group), with GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, holding a minority position following a Php 3.4 billion investment in the parent. CNPF is publicly listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange and reported FY2025 revenue of Php 83.3 billion (+10% YoY) and net income of Php 7.1 billion (+11% YoY), with a net gearing of 0.13x and gross margin of 25.1%. Technology use centers on third-party AI platforms (Blue Yonder for demand and supply planning with typhoon and earthquake scenario modeling, and JustPerform/Anaplan for financial planning) rather than proprietary AI systems. The company has also pursued active M&A, acquiring Coco Harvest Inc. (USD 40M, 2024), Roxas Sigma Agriventures' coconut processing facility (Php 2.6B, 2025), Loma Linda plant-based brand (2025), and the Tupi processing facility (2025), to scale coconut and plant-based capacity.
