Even as it strengthens its domestic presence, Malaysian dairy producer Farm Fresh is speeding up its regional expansion plans and is ready to start business in Hong Kong by this November.

Loi Tuan Ee, the company's group managing director and chief executive officer, said the company has incorporated a subsidiary in Hong Kong and now it’s in the process of obtaining regulatory approvals.

“We are working harder now that we want to surpass expectations. With the initial public offering (IPO) proceeds, it will enable us to further strengthen our presence in Malaysia as well as venture regionally,” he told The Business Times in a recent interview.
