As a top brand manufacturer, we will continue to hone our strengths and create an organization that continues to evolve for further growth.

Takahiko Iwahashi
Director and President of Nisshin Seifun Welna Inc.

Nisshin Seifun Welna Inc. is an integrated food manufacturer offering a wide range of wheat-based secondary processed products, including flour, premixes, pasta, pasta sauce, and frozen pasta for both the household- and commercial-use markets. As the core company in charge of the processed foods in the Nisshin Seifun Group, we will remain committed to our guiding philosophies of "the basis of business is built on trust" and to "be in tune with the changing business climate" along with our corporate principle to "contribute to a healthy and fruitful life for all."

Nisshin Seifun Welna possesses three key strengths: brand power, global production sites, and technological capabilities. In January 2022, we made a new start under the name "Nisshin Seifun Welna". Under this new corporate brand, we will combine the power of our product brands, and continue to hone the strengths of each brand and thus drive further growth.

To ensure our continued growth in the future, we will strengthen three capabilities: Endurance, i.e. business continuity and sustainability, Growth, i.e. profitability and business scale, and Competitiveness, i.e. adding value to differentiate ourselves from our peers and strengthening cost competitiveness. We believe that Endurance is especially important in establishing a stable business foundation that can respond to the ever-changing environment and risks surrounding our business. Going forward, we will continue to maintain and strengthen our core business, household-use products while also investing in the overseas, frozen food, and commercial-use businesses where further growth is expected. By growing these three business areas, Nisshin Seifun Welna will transform its business structure.

We have positioned our overseas business as a key initiative within these three growth areas. By utilizing the manufacturing techniques and diverse expertise we have cultivated in Japan, we will strengthen product development and sales based on local consumer needs. We have eight subsidiaries in six countries with 14 sites, seven of which are engaged in manufacturing. Until recently, we have emphasized manufacturing and importing overseas products by leveraging our local advantages overseas. Now we are focusing on a "made and sold locally" business model and spreading the appeal of Japanese food throughout the world. As the manufacturer of leading food brands in Japan, Nisshin Seifun Welna values the customers who have supported its products to date. As such, we will continue to evolve to better meet their trust and expectations. We appreciate your continued understanding and support.
