About the Donor
Prima Limited was founded in 1961 as the first flourmill in Singapore and one of the pioneer flour millers in Southeast Asia. This was in response to the Singapore Government’s encouragement of foreign investments in its industralisation programme.
“Prima” in Latin means “first”. The company’s Chinese name “Bai Ling Mai” (白龄麦) literally means “a hundred-year-old wheat”, signifying the company’s longevity on a solid foundation.
From a modest flour miller, Prima has grown steadily to become an industrial group with international operations. Although the company has diversified into other areas, their primary activities continue to remain in the food and allied industries.
