PROFILE |
 |
Ubiquitous and indispensable, Kikkoman Corporation is in every Japanese pantry. Kikkoman's soy sauce is #1 in the world and supplier to the Japanese imperial household (that batch is brewed separately). Beyond " shoyu" (soy sauce) the company's products include cooking sauces, sake, and wines. In Japan it sells ketchup and other Western foods under the Del Monte brand. The company also produces industrial-use enzymes and bottles Coca-Cola in Japan. While about 80% of its sales come from Japan, domestic demand is sluggish and Kikkoman's growth is coming from overseas expansion. The company roots are deep - it's over 300 years old -- and is still controlled by descendants of its founding families.
