In 1976, Nosan forayed into the food business and launched the Hikari brand of iodine-enriched eggs, the first-ever so-called brand eggs. Our activities have since expanded to include pet foods, horse feed, and reproductive technology using cutting-edge biotechnology.
A common element that runs throughout this broad spectrum of business fields is an engagement in "food and life," for it is our commitment to contribute to health and happiness through our role in the cycle of life that forms the basis of our social mission.
Eyeing the global stage, the Nosan Group aims to expand into growing overseas markets, turning its knowledge and experience, gained through a wide spectrum of business activities, to distinct advantage.
