Penang hosts 662 halal-certified factories, and the location pattern is clear: nearly all the big players sit in Seberang Perai — Bukit Mertajam, Simpang Ampat, Butterworth — not on the island. If you are planning factory visits, plan them on the mainland.

This list orders the 10 OEM-category factories by certified products in JAKIM's records. Note the mix: two multinationals (Kerry, GABAN) sit beside local pastry manufacturers — the sign of a mature ecosystem offering options at two price scales.

How this list was built

Ordering follows the number of halal-certified products in our capture of JAKIM's Halal Directory (8 August 2026) — an objective figure verifiable on the official portal. Retailers and restaurant chains that hold product certificates but do not run contract manufacturing are excluded and named in the text. Certificates change: check each factory's current status on our certificate checker, and see the 90-day expiry report before signing a contract.
