Japanese seafood giant Maruha Nichiro Corporation (MNC) has announced the launch of a dedicated pet food business promotional office, signaling a strategic push into the growing pet care industry. The move aligns with the company’s latest venture—the introduction of frozen pet food for dogs, expanding its product portfolio in a fast-evolving market.
The new office is designed to enhance MNC’s value creation in the pet food sector by focusing on innovation, market development, and long-term growth. The announcement comes as the company prepares for a significant rebranding: MNC is expected to change its name to “Umios Corporation” following a Board of Directors meeting later this month.
According to the company, the expansion into frozen pet food reflects a broader strategy to diversify beyond seafood and meet the increasing demand for premium, health-conscious pet nutrition. With more pet owners seeking fresh and natural food options for their animals, MNC’s expertise in frozen products positions it well to compete in this niche segment.
This strategic move underscores the company’s commitment to evolving consumer needs while leveraging its core capabilities in food processing and distribution.
