Overseas expansion

It also operates in 13 foreign markets.
Soh Chee Yong, president of Chomthana, said, "Through many contacts and talks, we believe that Yili is a respectable company. Since its creation, Yili has been adhering to the ‘quality’ belief and has been renowned worldwide for its continuous internationalization and innovation. Under the dream of "let the world share health", Yili products have won the trust of global consumers. Yili is a truly concerted enterprise with consumers."
Chen Yu, a senior dairy analyst, believes that as a leading dairy company in Asia, Yili’s international expansion is leading the rest of the Chinese dairy industry and encouraging other companies to look beyond the Chinese market.
