NIPPN was founded in 1896 as Japan's first private mechanical flour milling company. Since then, NIPPN has grown its business by leveraging its advanced manufacturing and product development capabilities to develop and produce a wide range of value added products from raw materials, while applying the technologies and expertise cultivated through flour milling to the processing of different types of grain and new raw materials, thereby creating synergies between these two capabilities.

NIPPN has evolved from a wheat flour milling company into a diversified, comprehensive food company. In 2021, marking its 125th anniversary, NIPPN changed its corporate name from Nippon Flour Mills Co., Ltd. to NIPPN CORPORATION. At the same time, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the new NIPPN Group, a new management philosophy was established: “Contributing to the realization of a sustainable society by pursuing the well-being (happiness, health, and smiles) of people.”

This year, NIPPN celebrates the significant milestone of its 130th anniversary. The business environment surrounding NIPPN is changing at an unprecedented pace, due to factors such as fluctuations in raw material and energy prices, labor shortages, and increasingly diverse values. Even in this era of profound change, the foundation of our work remains unchanged: “delivering happiness, smiles and physical and mental health to everyone through food experiences.”

Under our “Long-Term Vision 2030,” NIPPN aims to achieve sustainable growth and contribute to society through a long-term perspective that goes beyond the pursuit of short-term profits. NIPPN will steadily implement strategic investments, including strengthening its competitiveness through the promotion of DX and advancing sustainability management. As a comprehensive food company that continues to take on the challenge of solving social problems through food, NIPPN will promote management that fulfills its responsibility to the next generation.

Together with its stakeholders, NIPPN Group will continue to take on challenges step by step toward a sustainable future. We sincerely ask for your continued support.

In addition to the food business, NIPPN operates the healthcare business, which manufactures health food and natural cosmetics, the pet food business, and the biotechnology business. These businesses are connected with each other organically. In this way, the NIPPN Group is promoting diversification to expand its operations.

The Group's corporate philosophy has two pillars: (i) to gain trust from customers and continue to grow in strength and (ii) to offer competitive products and services of superior quality, thereby contributing to society.
The Group will continue to make the most of its collective strength to fulfill its social responsibility to its stakeholders. As a diversified food company making its presence felt, NIPPN will continue to actively take on challenges to achieve sustainable growth and enhance corporate value. As we pursue these initiatives, we hope that we can rely on your continued support.
