It all started with a dream, a leap of faith, and a passion for Fish balls...
Thong Siek Food Industry started in the 1970s as a family-run backyard operation. Then, the entire family was involved in the production and distribution of a single product - Fish Ball.
Our strong belief in outstanding quality and our quest for modern methods of production propels our growth to a dynamic conglomerate. Today, Thong Siek is a leading manufacturer, distributor and retailer of surimi-based (minced fish paste) seafood products. Our state-of-the-art 70,000 sq ft factory processes well over 25,000 kg of fish meat daily and more than 60 varieties of appetizing fish-based products for both local and international markets.

Modern technology in a traditional industry
Thong Siek was the first in the region to adopt modern technology and processes in our production. Our founder, Mr Lim's trip to Osaka, Japan in 1983 was pivotal in our transformation. Then, Japan was a pioneer in surimi technology and through learning and adopting the Japanese way of production, we were able to increase our output from a mere 3000 kg in the 1970s to more than 6000 kg in 1984.
Through the use of modern technology, Thong Siek was able to produce our products faster and at a consistent quality. This provides us with a unique opportunity to differentiate and brand what was previously considered a traditional product. That brand is, of course, the now famous DoDo brand. Currently, our fully automated lines include grinding, processing and auto-packaging facilities.
