From 1900 onward,
In addition to the production of dried skipjacks, we were engaged in the collection, box-packing, and nationwide sales of raw mandarin oranges that were locally cultivated, as well as export of oranges to Canada.
"Inaba light tuna"
was an innovative product not only because attention was focused on yellowfin, which was a new marine resource in those days, but also because it brought about an era of mass production of canned tuna in Japan by flaking tuna and adopting a high-speed tuna-filling system. At present, the majority of the approximately ten million cases in the Japanese tuna market are flake products that are made from yellowfin.
This fact clearly shows that our "Inaba light tuna flakes" are still the driving force in the Japanese market of canned tuna.
Since 1958,
We have been engaged in the production of pet foods. Seen in this light, we are one of the earliest brand manufacturing companies of wet foods. In 1989, after twenty years of exporting to Italy, we created "CIAO" as a premium brand of domestically-produced cat foods.
In 1997, we established INABA PETFOOD Co., Ltd. as a sales company of pet foods. We have developed into a top brand of premium wet cat foods, with approximately half a century of production achievements up to now as well as the production and sales of approximately 300 quality-first items, including dog foods of the Inaba brand. We have been rapidly growing in the market as a premium brand manufacturing company that is loved and trusted by customers around the world.
