Universal Robina Corporation (URC) Universal Robina Corporation (URC) is one of the largest branded consumer food and beverage product companies in the Philippines, has established a strong presence in the ASEAN markets, and has further expanded its reach to the Oceania region through its acquisition of Griffin’s, the leading snack foods player in New Zealand, and Snack Brands Australia (SBA), the second largest player in Australia. URC is among the Philippines’ pioneers in the industry having been in operations for over 60 years. The Company is involved in a wide range of food-related businesses, including the manufacture and distribution of branded consumer foods and is also in commodities namely sugar million band refining and flour milling and in Agro industrial businesses of farms mainly hogs and animal feed milling and related products. URC has the vision to become the best Philippine food and beverage company with a powerful presence throughout the ASEAN and Oceania region. This vision is gradually being realized as URC has managed to transform itself from a leading local company to a recognized multinational company with full scale operations in ten countries outside of the Philippines namely Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia/Singapore, Indonesia, China/Hong Kong, Myanmar, New Zealand and Australia, and soon in emerging markets like Laos and Cambodia. URC has built three strong regional brands over the years; "Jack 'n Jill" for snack foods, "C2" for ready-to-drink tea, and "Great Taste" for coffee. These brands are becoming popular across the ASEAN region which have grown to represent the simple pleasures of life as well as the fun and camaraderie of snacking. Premium brands were also added into URC’s portfolio through its acquisitions such as Griffin’s and Nice & Natural from Griffin’s Foods, and Kettle, Thins, CC’s and Cheezels from Snack Brands Australia. URC’s key to success is to build very strong branding through a robust product innovation pipeline, consumer-centric marketing and world-class manufacturing and supply chain management. URC will continue to transform itself given the changing external dynamics in line with increasing opportunities in Asia and beyond.
