Our Story:
From Ipoh to the World
Born in Malaysia’s coconut heartland, M&S Food has grown from a local santan specialist into a trusted name in households across Malaysia and beyond.
The Humble Beginning
The story of M&S Food Industries began in 1988 in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia’s coconut heartland. It was here that the late Mr. Chung Chan Shen, a visionary entrepreneur, founded the company with one goal in mind: to share Malaysia’s tropical abundance with the world.
The name M&S — Malaysia & Santan — carries this spirit proudly. “Malaysia” reflects our pride as a homegrown brand, while “Santan”, the Malay word for coconut milk, represents the soul of our culinary heritage and the ingredient that brings families together across generations.
Pioneering Innovation
In 1989, M&S pioneered UHT Coconut Milk in Malaysia, a breakthrough that changed kitchens nationwide. For the first time, families and chefs could enjoy the authentic taste of freshly squeezed santan with the hygiene, consistency, and convenience of modern packaging.
This innovation balanced tradition with technology, preserving the purity of taste while making cooking easier for everyone.

Everyday Santan, Accessible to All
For more than three decades, M&S has carried forward Mr. Chung’s legacy, becoming the everyday santan trusted in homes, festive gatherings, and professional kitchens. We believe that good quality santan should not be a luxury but something that is accessible to everyone.
Through decades of process refinement, long-standing supplier partnerships, and efficient large-scale production, we are able to deliver premium quality at a price that remains fair. This makes M&S the smart, affordable premium choice that families can depend on daily, and chefs can trust for consistency in every dish.

Heritage Reimagined for the Future
Today, M&S continues to grow, expanding our reach to meet both local and global needs. While santan remains the heart of who we are, we are also charting a path beyond it, driving plant-based innovation and developing coconut-based solutions that align with modern wellness and vegan lifestyles.
From Coconut Whip to new formats yet to come, M&S is reimagining how coconuts and plant-based foods can inspire healthier, more connected living.
