Malaysia’s integrated poultry company Dindings Tyson has welcomed Boonlua Thangwatcharapong as its new CEO, effective August 1, 2025.
Mr Boonlua brings with him a strong track record and proven leadership in the poultry industry. His appointment represents a key milestone as the company continues to strengthen its poultry operations and drive forward its growth agenda.
Before taking the new role, he was Dindings Tyson’s Director, appointed in June 2023 in place of Tan Sun. His previous experience includes as Head of Operations at Tyson Foods.
New strategic collaboration in Perak
In another development, Malaysia’s Perbadanan Ekonomi Islam Perak (PSB) has signed a MoU with Dindings Poultry Development Centre, a subsidiary of Dindings Tyson, to develop a broiler breeder farm in Perak.
PSB Chairman Ansary Ahmed said the strategic collaboration aims to enhance the food security agenda under the Perak Sejahtera 2030 Plan.
He added that the MoU will facilitate the development of a 16-ha broiler breeder farming complex, with an additional 60ha identified for future expansion.
“This strategic collaboration involves developing PSB-owned land into an integrated poultry farm encompassing GP, PS and commercial broilers using modern closed-house systems, with technical expertise from Dindings Poultry Development Centre,” Dr Ahmed explained.
He continued that the project also aims to ensure a stable chicken supply for the local market, including for export, and to strengthen the overall national poultry supply chain.
Teh Wee Chye, Executive Chairman of Dindings Poultry, said the collaboration with PSD will enhance Dindings Poultry’s upstream poultry farming capabilities and expand its operational footprint in Perak.
“We view this partnership as a long-term investment that will significantly impact not only business but also national food security and community development,” he added.
Mr Teh expects the collaboration to contribute to the national goal of achieving a self-sufficiency level of 140% in chicken meat production by 2030.
