Our Story

Setting sail in search of authentic flavours

In pursuit of an adventure, our founding father, Alfred Clouet decides to leave his father’s tailoring business in Le Havre, France to journey across South-East Asia.

 

1892

 

The birth of A. Clouët Company

Working under the name A. Clouët, Alfred founded his own import-export company and began importing Menier chocolate, Bordeaux wine and perfumes across Asia.

Within the span of thirty years, Alfred expands his business to cover exotic Asian ingredients like spices, curries, pepper and coconut milk – many of which are still being exported by AYAM™ globally today.

An innovator in canned foods

Just before the start of a new millennium, Alfred revolutionizes the way seafood is stored by packing sardines into cans.

Considered both a luxury and modern method of storing produce at the time, Alfred’s venture into canned goods allowed his product to achieve a longer life span compared to non-canned goods.

 

From A. Clouët to AYAM Brand™

Being of both a great tasting and high-quality nature, Alfred Clouet’s products gained cult notoriety across South East Asia, particularly in Malaysia where it is simply known as rooster brand or ‘AYAM’ in Malay due to the symbolic rooster represented on the brand’s logo.

From there on, Alfred decides to rebrand his company, transforming it into AYAM Brand™ where it continues to live on today as a leading and aspiring, authenthic Asian brand.
