Halal OEM Factories in Perak: All 148 With Active JAKIM Records (2026)

Perak has 148 contract manufacturing plants with a JAKIM record — the fourth largest population in Malaysia after Selangor, Johor and Penang.

The state is routinely overlooked by brand owners who concentrate on the Klang Valley, despite lower operating costs in and around Ipoh.

The full list

The Ipoh cluster

Most of Perak's plants cluster around Ipoh and Lahat. For a brand wanting to visit several factories in a day, that density is practical.

The range of categories in Perak is wide — food, beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceutical are all represented — though the cosmetics pool is very small indeed, with only four plants holding the KO category.

How this list was built

Every factory here was taken from JAKIM's own Halal Directory, captured on 5 August 2026. Nothing was added by invitation, payment or submission.

• Contract manufacturing only. The factory must hold JAKIM's OEM (pengilangan kontrak) category. Plants that only make their own products are out of scope.
• Classified by what they actually make. Taken straight from JAKIM's own category codes, so nothing here is inferred.
• Ranked on published records, not on our judgement of quality.

We classify by certified product names rather than by JAKIM's category code on purpose. The code is broad: filtering on "cosmetics & personal care" alone returns an edible-oils plant whose certified list is margarine and antibacterial soap. Reading the product names avoids that.

What this list cannot tell you

• Factories producing only under a client's certificate are invisible here. 221 of Malaysia's halal contract plants hold the OEM category and no product certificates of their own. They may be excellent; they simply have nothing for this method to count.
• "Brands certified" includes a factory's own brands. For a contract manufacturer most of those names are clients. For a large consumer-goods company, many will be its own labels. Read the number as certification breadth, not as a client list.
• Certification is not capability. JAKIM records say a product met the halal standard. They say nothing about capacity, minimum order quantity, lead time, price or quality systems.
