Nichiro Corporation
 PROFILE
Founded in 1914 as Nichiro Fishery Company, Nichiro has pulled up its lines and is now more interested in fish sticks than fishing. The company is Japan's third-largest seafood producer, after Maruha and Nippon Suisan Kaisha. Canned, frozen, and chilled foods account for about 60% of sales; fresh foods about 35%. Beyond seafood, the company emphasizes frozen convenience foods. Other business lines include livestock feed, furs, hotel operations, and packaging machinery. Nichiro has expanded exports to China and the US. Its US subsidiaries make "surimi", crab-flavored fish paste.
