Tee Yih Jia's Growth Strategy for Global Ready-to-Eat and OEM Leadership
PYD- May 27
- 2 min read
Singapore-based Tee Yih Jia, known for its Spring Home brand, is evolving from a frozen food specialist into a global-ready, innovation-driven player. The company is tapping into rising demand for convenient, export-ready, and culturally resonant food formats across both retail and B2B markets, while introducing bold new product concepts and expanding OEM offerings.
Convenience-First Product Innovation
Tee Yih Jia is responding to a surge in demand for ultra-convenient food with the development of Ding!, a microwavable Chinese-style pasta. Unlike traditional instant noodles, this product offers a firmer texture and gourmet flavours like mala, tom yum, and sha cha. Designed for urban, time-strapped consumers, Ding! promises a full meal in just two minutes.
The company is also launching crispy prawn rolls (hae bi hiam) in ambient packaging—ideal for both snacking and as a portable souvenir for tourists. These developments reflect a broader trend toward easy-prep, no-prep, and portable food formats in post-COVID Asia.
Capitalising on Tourism and Export Growth
Tourism rebound has prompted Tee Yih Jia to introduce products tailored to tourists, such as halal-certified snacks with long shelf life and international compliance. The firm is diversifying into ambient products beyond its typical frozen SKUs, with snacks that cater to both locals and souvenir-seeking travellers. With 90% of its revenue from exports and presence in 80 countries, Tee Yih Jia’s products are designed for seamless cross-border movement.
Creating Relevance for Younger ConsumersTo stay relevant across generations, Tee Yih Jia is modernising traditional formats. New paratha flavours like chocolate, taro, matcha, and multigrain cater to younger, health-conscious consumers. Its custard lava tang yuan—a bold upgrade from the traditional sweet ball—is already receiving strong consumer feedback.
This shift reflects a wider move to reinvent nostalgic formats with indulgent, modern twists that satisfy both taste and wellness expectations.
OEM and Customised Food SolutionsBeyond branded products, Tee Yih Jia is becoming a full-spectrum OEM partner. From concept development and mould design to final packaging and labelling, the firm offers turnkey solutions. This strategy is especially evident in its upcoming mooncake range featuring molten fillings and multi-coloured skins—rare even in high-end markets.
Additionally, its colourful lotus leaf buns (gua bao) are designed for seasonal promotions and creative marketing tie-ins. Tee Yih Jia actively co-develops such formats with B2B partners to drive differentiation in crowded markets.
Infrastructure Built for Global Reach
With manufacturing facilities in Singapore, China, Malaysia, and the US, and halal certification across most SKUs, Tee Yih Jia is built for global scale. Its meat-, dairy-, and egg-free approach simplifies market entry in strict regulatory regions, allowing products to move efficiently across borders.
From microwavable noodles to molten mooncakes, Tee Yih Jia is not just evolving its product range—it is redefining the Asian convenience food category. With a dual focus on ready-to-eat innovation and full-service OEM offerings, the company is well-positioned to lead in both consumer and foodservice channels globally.
