Company Description

Nothing quenches your thirst like a nice tall glass of jelly. The bottom line at Morinaga & Co. attests to that. The company makes Weider In Jelly, a jelly-like drink touted in Japan as something of a health food. The drink has become a high-sales novelty item popular among athletes and many sleepy "salary men" commuting to work. The company also sells dietary supplements through an agreement with Weider Nutrition. A confectioner since 1899, Morinaga has been downsizing its food wholesaling business to focus resources on candy production. It sold its ice cream wholesaling operations to Kokubu in 2010. The company operates five food manufacturing plants in Japan and also has various real estate holdings.
