The new CEO, Mr. Nguyen (born in 1977), has held several senior positions at Kido, Pepsico Vietnam, Cau Tre Corporation, and Left Brain Connectors. He joined IDP in 2013 as the Marketing Director and became the Executive Director in 2018. He has also been a member of the Board of Directors since October 2021 and was re-elected for the 2025-2030 term.
Mr. Nguyen does not currently hold any shares in IDP. However, he is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Long Thanh Dairy Joint Stock Company, a newly established enterprise in Dong Nai with a charter capital of VND 4 billion.
The former CEO, Mr. Bui Hoang Sang, who took on the role in February 2024, will step down. Prior to his role as CEO, Mr. Sang was a strategic advisor to IDP from March 2020. During Mr. Sang’s tenure as CEO, the company changed its name to International Dairy Company Lof and proposed to move its headquarters from Ba Vi, Hanoi to Bau Bang Industrial Park, Binh Duong.
IDP is known for its popular brands such as Kun, LOF, and LOF MALTO, with factories in Ba Vi and Cu Chi and a nationwide distribution system. However, the company has been facing challenges in terms of financial performance. In the second quarter of 2025, IDP reported a loss of over VND 36 billion, a significant decline from the profit of nearly VND 288 billion in the same period last year. This is the first time the company has reported a quarterly loss in its history. While revenue for the quarter increased by 9% to VND 2,113 billion, the gross profit margin dropped to a record low of 37%. In the first half of 2025, net profit was nearly VND 72 billion, the lowest in six years and a decrease of 86% compared to the previous year.
The company attributed the loss to an increase in cost of goods sold by nearly 18% due to changes in product structure, along with higher selling, marketing, management, and borrowing expenses.

In terms of investment activities, the IDP Board of Directors has recently approved the establishment of Redpine Joint Stock Company with a charter capital of VND 258 billion. The new company, headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, will mainly provide management consulting services (excluding finance, accounting, and legal fields). Redpine also plans to raise over VND 600 billion in credit to serve working capital and invest in technology equipment.
IDP’s stock price has been trading around VND 200,000 per share, making it one of the few three-digit priced stocks on the exchange. However, contrary to the general upward trend of the market, IDP’s stock price has decreased by 9% in the last month and 18% in the last year, with low liquidity, averaging just over 1,000 shares traded per session.
