69 halal contract manufacturing plants pass our noodle and rice screen.

Alphabetical. These plants meet the same criteria; they carry fewer certified brands than the ten above.
A category with a high barrier to entry
Noodle production needs specialised equipment that does not readily convert to other products. That means the factories on this list tend to be focused — and to have deep experience in one thing.
For a brand owner, that narrowness usually works in your favour.
How this list was built
Every factory here was taken from JAKIM's own Halal Directory, captured on 8 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. A factory counts as belonging to this category when at least five of its certified products fall inside it, and those make up at least 40% of its certified range.
- 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.
