..when a young Japanese visionary
started a frozen fish distributorship in the Tokyo area.
This modest company soon became Toyo Suisan,
one of the world's, most successful food companies.
Its founder, Mr. Kazuo Mori, maintained a commitment
to study and perfect food products to increase quality
and flavor. In 1961, Toyo Suisan was becoming a
diversified food company and entered the ramen
noodle business with the goal to achieve higher quality
noodle products which were then on the market in Asia.
By 1970 Toyo Suisan ranked as one of Japan's most
prominent food companies.
In 1972, Toyo Suisan entered the international market. Maruchan, Incorporated was formed
in 1977 and opened its first, ramen manufacturing plant in Irvine, California. America
quickly discovered the convenience and great taste of Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soups.
Maruchan, Inc. has since grown to include three state-of-the-art food processing facilities
from coast to coast. Maruchan has a company wide commitment to always maintain con-
sistent product quality, soup after soup. You can depend on Maruchan for quality, and
proven, new products all made with the highest of standards. For over thirty years, Maruchan
has never wavered from its initial goal when it brought its own variety of ramen noodle soups
to America. It was Maruchan's goal to produce America's highest quality ramen noodle
products and never compromise product quality.</FONT>
