History of Maruchan Inc

Maruchan, Inc. is the North American manufacturing and sales arm of the Japanese food manufacturer Toyo Suisan Kaisha Ltd.

Since its debut in 1962, the Maruchan logo has become widely recognized and loved as the symbol for Toyo Suisan’s processed foods among every Japanese age group ranging from small children to the elderly.

Toyo Suisan Kaisha, Ltd. (“the Company”) was established in 1953 as an exporter, domestic buyer and distributor of marine products. The Company entered the cold-storage business in 1955 and began producing and selling such processed marine food products as fish sausage in 1956.

In 1972, the Maruchan division of Toyo Suisan Kaisha opened its first instant ramen production facility in the United States; by 1997 it had three factories. Accordingly, products featuring the Maruchan label are highly acclaimed for their flavor both domestically and overseas.
