471. Brand Stories: LILY’S PEANUT BUTTER, 1950 to present

LILY'S PEANUT BUTTER Magazine Ad, 1989-90

The beginnings of Lily’s Peanut Butter began in 1950, when the first natural peanut butter was produced in the country. It was not until more than 2 decades later that, in 1972, home-made brand was fully commercialized with the founding of the Newborn Food Products , Inc. to raise the quality of the product.

In 1998, Arch. Ramon T. Pua was name President and CEO of Newborn Food Products, Inc., and under his term, the distribution system was improved, the management and organizational structure of the company was strengthened, and new product line were introduced like Coco Jam and Jelly Gem Ice Pops.

 The company celebrated its 50th year in 2000 by advancing its vitamin A advocacy program and introducing product innovations: the launch of the new 20g. peanut butter sulit pack (2007) and new variant  Chocolate-Peanut Butter in new PET bottle packaging (2008).

 More line extensions followed like the first ever healthy variant—Lily’s Peanut Butter Lite,  made from real peanuts and stevia extract. Another is Lily’s Crunchy Peanut Butter, with cracklin’ real peanut bits. Rounding out the Lily’s line is Lily’s Choco Almond Spread, made with real tablea and roasted almonds.  The brand became more visible when it employed young hearthrob Daniel Padilla as its celebrity endorsers.

After 70 years, Lily’s Peanut Butter has become part of the Filipino snacking tradition, with a trusted quality that continues to grow strong with every passing year.
