" Mali " Develops Together with the Health of the Thai People
            In 1962, General Surajit Charusreni, Minister of Agriculture and Co - operatives, realized that Thai farmers could produce annually many tons of raw milk. However, there was no Thai company producing any dairy products for Thai people. So, he initiated the establishment of the first Thai dairy company.

             He negotiated with a group of Thai and Malaysian businessmen and the Australian Dairy Produce Board to set up a company name " The Thai Dairy Industry Co.,Ltd " The company's mission was to process local raw materials into dairy products with an aim to reduce the country's dependence on imports.

            In 1965, construction of the company's plant on Sukhumvit Road in Samut Prakarn was completed, and operations commenced with the production of sweetened condensed milk. It was then that the now familiar " Mali " brandname was introduced to the market for the first time. " Mali " has subsequently become a part of daily life in Thailand, and continuous launches of new " Mali " brand products into market hace been met with the same wide consumer acceptance as the orginal sweetened condensed milk.

            With a steady growth in demand through the years, a new, larger and more advanced plant has been constructed to take the company into the next century.
