Minni currently offers three authentic and spicy flavours ā Korean Spicy, Tangy Spicy and Tomato BBQ. Non-spicy variants will be introduced in the coming months.
āMinni’s initial range of spicy flavours is the result of our extensive research on consumers’ current preferences. Many of them, especially younger consumers, prefer the spicy variant. Of course, we are working on introducing more non-spicy flavours in the future,ā explained Calvin Koh, the founder of GT Spice Manufacturers Sdn. Bhd. He added that Minni is vegan-friendly and gluten-free.
Minni is a new brand with a different positioning than the other brand āKacang Machaā.
āMinni offers leisure baked food series while Kacang Macha offers the extruded fried yellow pea (murukku) range. Our other brand 1001Rempah carries a wide variety of spices mainly for cooking and flavouring,ā shares Calvin.
The Planned Future for Minni
GT Spice Manufacturers launched the Minni Baked Leisure Food series at the Selangor International Business Summit at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from 6 to 9 October 2022. The international summit will be one of their strategies to introduce the brand to the local markets, especially lifestyle retail chains such as EMART24, MIX.MY, B.I.G, Jaya Grocers, Village Grocers, and the international ones.
āWhile we penetrate the local market this year, we are also targeting to expand to the South East Asian region market by 2023 followed by the European market by 2024,ā Calvin shared.
GT Spice Manufacturers Satisfying the Local Palates Since 2015
GT Spice Manufacturers Sdn Bhd was founded in 2015 as an ode to Calvinās father and the time spent with him.
āI remember spending a lot of time with my father, who brings us to buyĀ kacang putihĀ whenever we head back to Seremban during the weekends. TheĀ kacang putihĀ was sold by an uncle who goes around selling his snacks at the iconic Seremban Lake Gardens,ā shared Calvin. He mentioned that his father and the uncle had built a strong bond throughout the years. Whenever his father wind down the window of his car, the uncle would ask, āKacang, Macha?ā and that became the inspiration behind the brand āKacang Machaā.
The uncle gave his father one murukku recipe before he retired, and Calvin stumbled upon the recipe after his fatherās passing in 2009. His family was dabbling in spice powder trading while Calvin worked as a banker then. At that point, Calvin was at a crossroad, and he decided to take the plunge and went full-time into manufacturing spices and murukku upon finding the murukku recipe.
The business soared and now there are two companies under their umbrella ā the GT Spice Manufacturers Sdn Bhd (manufacturing arm) and GT Snack and Spice Distributors Sdn Bhd (distribution and marketing arm).
The Minni, Kacang Macha and 1001Rempah can be purchased online via the official websiteĀ http://gtsgroup.my/.
