ABOUT US
Greeting
Thank you sincerely for visiting the website of Marusan Co., Ltd.
I am Eiji Naruwa, the president of the company. It is a pleasure to meet you.
The current Marusan Co., Ltd. was founded in 1946, the year after the end of World War II, during a time when society was still struggling with chronic food shortages. Our founder, Hisayoshi Naruwa, firmly believed that livestock farming would play an essential role in the future. With the desire to “collaborate and advance business in a harmonious circle,” he founded “Marusan Feed Store,” which was the precursor to our company.
Afterward, as the times changed, we expanded our operations to include the production of farms, livestock sales, food processing plants, and the manufacture and sale of fertilizers. We also established group companies and, as a global company, continued to take on challenges by exporting high-quality products to meet the needs of the era.
In recent years, the demands placed on companies have become more diverse, including sustainability, which prioritizes people and the environment, and stricter laws regarding food safety standards. In response to these changes, Marusan Co., Ltd., along with our group companies, remains committed to delivering products that ensure safety and peace of mind to our customers. As a company that “supports food, nurtures life, and delivers happiness,” we will continue to engage in environmentally conscious corporate activities.
We were able to celebrate our 78th anniversary in April 2024 thanks to the continued support of everyone who has helped sustain Marusan Co., Ltd. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support. As we strive toward becoming a company that will endure for over 100 years, we will continue to dedicate ourselves to our mission. We ask for your continued patronage and support of Marusan Co., Ltd.
