Hữu Nghị Food

Hữu Nghị Food, formally Công ty Cổ phần Thực phẩm Hữu Nghị (Hữu Nghị Food Joint Stock Company), is a major Vietnamese food and confectionery enterprise. Its origins trace to the "Hữu Nghị Premium Confectionery Factory," which was established and began operations on 8 December 1997. The company was equitized in 2006 and renamed "Công ty Cổ phần Bánh kẹo cao cấp Hữu Nghị" (Hữu Nghị Premium Confectionery Joint Stock Company), and in 2009 it adopted its current name, "Công ty Cổ phần Thực phẩm Hữu Nghị" (Hữu Nghị Food Joint Stock Company). The "Hữu Nghị" brand itself is described as having grown into a well-known Vietnamese trademark since the 1950s. The company produces and trades biscuits, candies and agricultural products, positioning itself as one of Vietnam's three largest food enterprises. Its product range spans confectionery, baked goods and related food items, with the Tipo brand among its notable exports. Hữu Nghị Food operates three large-scale factories meeting global food safety standards (FSSC) with modern production lines in Hanoi, Bac Ninh and Binh Duong. Its facilities hold international certifications including ISO 22000:2018, HALAL JAKIM, HALAL GCC, HALAL MUI, SA8000:2014 and FSSC 22000. Domestically, Hữu Nghị Food has built a multi-channel distribution system covering traditional (GT), modern trade (MT) and key account (KA) channels. Its products are present in more than 6,000 supermarkets and convenience store chains and over 140,000 retail points nationwide. The company states that more than 1.5 million Vietnamese consumers use its products daily. It also opened its first birthday cake bakery in Hanoi in 2009. Internationally, Hữu Nghị Food has established an export customer network in more than 20 countries and territories, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia and Laos. The company describes its mission as delivering fresh, safe nutrition to millions of Vietnamese families while preserving familiar Vietnamese flavors, and it positions customers as the focus of all its activities.

Hữu Nghị Food traces its institutional history to the establishment of the "Hữu Nghị Premium Confectionery Factory" (Nhà máy Bánh kẹo cao cấp Hữu Nghị), which was founded and began operations on 8 December 1997 in Vietnam. The "Hữu Nghị" brand name, however, is described as having become a well-known Vietnamese trademark from the 1950s onward, giving the brand a heritage that predates the formal corporate entity. In 2006, the factory was equitized and renamed "Công ty Cổ phần Bánh kẹo cao cấp Hữu Nghị" (Hữu Nghị Premium Confectionery Joint Stock Company). In the same year, the company began building a modern, professional multi-channel domestic distribution and sales system. This marked a shift from production-focused operations toward a broader commercial and distribution strategy. In 2009, to align with its new development direction, the company changed its name to "Công ty Cổ phần Thực phẩm Hữu Nghị" (Hữu Nghị Food Joint Stock Company). During this period, Hữu Nghị Food established and operated traditional (GT) and supermarket (MT) sales channels nationwide, opened its first birthday cake bakery in Hanoi, and successfully exported its Tipo products to international markets. This export milestone signaled the company's entry into global trade. By 2020, Hữu Nghị Food had developed a wide customer network across Vietnam, including more than 140,000 points of sale in the GT channel, more than 6,000 supermarkets and convenience store chains in the MT channel, and hundreds of key account customers in the KA channel. The company reported that more than 1.5 million Vietnamese consumers used its products daily, with the number continuing to grow. In the present period, Hữu Nghị Food operates three large-scale factories meeting global food safety standards (FSSC) with dozens of modern production lines in Hanoi, Bac Ninh and Binh Duong. The company describes itself as a leading large-scale, reputable confectionery manufacturer in Vietnam and the region. Its export network spans more than 20 countries and territories, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia and Laos. The company continues to emphasize international certifications such as ISO 22000:2018, HALAL JAKIM, HALAL GCC, HALAL MUI, SA8000:2014 and FSSC 22000, and positions customers at the center of all its activities.
