Golden Corporation Sdn Bhd (GC) is a premium integrated seafood company from Taiwan that has established its operational headquarters in Brunei Darussalam in partnership with Semaun Marine Resources Sdn Bhd (SMR), a company established in 2002 with its business in hatchery for shrimp fry. With over B$ 50 million invested, GC is one of the pioneers to develop the seafood industry in Brunei Darussalam.

GC operates an integrated value chain for Blue Shrimps (Litopenaeus Stylirostris). This value chain comprises of a broodstock development centre (GBDC), hatchery for shrimp fry, over 250 hectares of grow-out farms and 3 processing centres which includes a multi-purpose seafood processing centre in Kampung Serambangun, Tutong. This Multi-Purpose Seafood Processing Centre is the first seafood processing plant in Brunei that is fully equipped with all modern technologies. The plant was completed and commenced full operation in June 2012.

Apart from Blue Shrimps, GC has also invested in fishing vessels capable of operating in deeper marine zone areas of Brunei. This allows GC to catch high grade Yellow Fin Tuna and Skipjacks, as well as other marine fishes that can be turned into value added products such as surimi.

We are now one of the largest private employers in Tutong and a major player in the seafood industry in Brunei Darussalam. We are fully committed to the development of Brunei’s seafood industry, supporting local farmers through supply of feed, shrimp fries, training and buy-back support.

Mission Statement

Values

To reduce marine pollution and maintain the natural habitats and ecosystem of Brunei Darussalam; including building a sustainable and healthy marine and fisheries industry.

Business Goals and Objectives

The company is working towards becoming a fully integrated producer of seafood products; from the production of their own feed and supply of shrimp/fish fry to the processing of end products for the retail trade. This is achieved by operating the company’s own fishing fleets, fish/shrimp farms and also purchasing excess local catch including unmarketable fish. The company has its own vessels which have the ability to access zones where local Brunei vessels are unable to reach.

They further aim to increase the production of organic aquatic feed in order to increase organic shrimp production to cater to international market demands.

Growth Strategy

The growth strategy is by way of expanding the seafood production facilities to include end consumer retail products like fish cakes, fish balls and snacks. Focus would be on the current existing line and the expansion to new product lines. This would also include investing in acquiring more vessels and also more coastal and in-land farms.

The company offers advice, technical expertise and purchase guarantees to encourage more local landowners to farm fish/shrimp. Notwithstanding, seafood stock would also need to be sourced outside the region to support the company’s growth strategy.

Apart from organic growth, the company is not adverse to growth by strategic acquisition. Towards this end, there are on-going discussions with major international seafood players.
