About Us

Enhancing everyday family values through Nutrition, Hygiene and Healthcare is at the core of our corporate ethos, driving our business activities with purpose and care.

Building resilience through Innovation.

We believe that every person has the right to a healthy, happy life. We also believe that this leads to more vibrant and resilient communities.

Over the years we introduced several innovations to serve evolving consumer needs. From our flagship LASCO Food Drink and the LaSoy range of plant-based beverages to CURVES Sanitary Napkins and the iCool range of waters, flavoured waters and drinks, we also have our own range of generics under the LASMED brand.

As we look to the future we continue to innovate with our brand portfolio, invest in people and technology capability and accelerate the growth of our business footprint.

Value creation through Sustainable actions.

Founded in September 1988, by the Hon. Lascelles Chin, our Executive Chairman, we have grown organically through a relentless approach to delivering value and excellence through our products and services.

With Sustainability at the heart of our corporate culture, we have a strong track record of investing in programmes that provide tangible results at the intersection of business and community.
