Want Want Holdings Ltd.
 PROFILE
Want Want Holdings depends on cravings and desires, and the snack food maker has tapped deep into the Chinese market for something crunchy. The company derives more than half of its sales from rice crackers; its two most popular brands are Want Want and Hot Kid. It has expanded into other snacks (30%) and milk-based beverages (about 15%). The Chinese market accounts for more than 85% of the company sales and most of its profits; it also sells in Taiwan and other Southeast Asian countries. The company has operations in Taiwan, but the majority of its production facilities are in China. Want Want has also entered into a joint venture with Barista Coffee Roasting to distribute coffee and snacks in China.
