Mama is a Thai instant-noodle brand. Thai President Foods was set up on 15 February 1972 as a joint venture between Taiwan's President Enterprise, an expert in production technology, and Thailand's Sahapatanaphibul, which handled sales. The aim was to produce Mama instant noodles; after the first year all shares passed to Thai owners.
In 2017 Thai President Foods merged with President Rice Products, which since 1981 had made rice noodles and vermicelli under the Mama, Mamy, Papa, Pama, Handi Rice and President Rice names. The company now makes instant noodles with wheat flour as the main raw material, plus rice vermicelli, rice noodles, flat noodles, rice porridge and bean vermicelli.
The company says Mama has been on the market for more than 53 years and holds the largest domestic share, with capacity of around 7 million packs a day. Besides its own brands, its factories make noodles for manufacturers in Europe, the United States and Australia.
