- We visited Wilmar's headquarters, R&D center, central kitchen, and factories in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Kunshan, China, in May 2025.
- Wilmar is scaling up its central kitchen concept by renting out excess space to F&B companies and cross-selling products downstream. With rising demand for ready-to-eat meals, Wilmar plans to launch three new sites in 2025, with capex of ~RMB 2bn each (varying by location and specifications). This will bring its total to nine food parks, making it the largest player in the market by scale.
