Maggi

Maggi is an international brand of seasonings, instant soups, and noodles that originated in Switzerland. The brand was acquired by Nestlé in 1947.

The company originated in Switzerland in 1885, when Julius Maggi took over his father's mill. He quickly became a pioneer of industrial food production, aiming to improve the nutritional intake of worker families. Maggi was the first to bring protein-rich legume meals to the market, and followed up with a ready-made soup based on legume meals in 1886. In 1897, Julius Maggi founded the company Maggi GmbH in Singen, Germany.

In 1947, following several changes in ownership and corporate structure, Maggi's holding company merged with the Nestlé company to form Nestlé-Alimentana S.A., currently known in its francophone home base as Nestlé S.A.

The bouillon cube or Maggi cube is a meat substitute product that was introduced in 1908.

In West Africa and parts of the Middle East, Maggi cubes are an integral part of the local cuisine. In Haiti and throughout Latin America, Maggi products, especially bouillon cubes, are widely sold with some repackaging to reflect local terminology. In the German, Dutch, and Danish languages, lovage has come to be known as Maggi herb (Ger. Maggikraut, Du. maggikruid or maggiplant, Da. maggiurt), because it tastes similar to Maggi sauce, although lovage is not present in the sauce.

In Australia, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Pakistan, Mexico, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, German-speaking countries, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Poland and France, "Maggi" is still synonymous with Maggi-Würze (Maggi seasoning sauce), a dark, soy sauce-type hydrolysed vegetable protein-based condiment sauce. In Spain and Mexico, it is sold under the name Jugo Maggi.

Maruchan

Maruchan Inc.
東洋水産

Maruchan (マルちゃん, Maru-chan^?) is a Japanese brand of instant ramen noodles and related products produced by Toyo Suisan Kaisha, Ltd of Tokyo, Japan. The Maruchan brand is used for noodle products in Japan, and as the operating name for Toyo Suisan's division in the United States, Maruchan Inc. In 1972, Toyo Suisan entered the American market with Maruchan USA, and in 1977, established a plant in Irvine, California. Maruchan has other plants in Richmond, Virginia, and one in San Antonio, Texas. Maruchan produces over 3.6 billion packages of ramen noodle soup a year.

Toyo Suisan Kaisha, Ltd of Tokyo, Japan, founded on March 28, 1953, is a consumer packaged foods company in Japan. Toyo Suisan’s effort to become an international food company brought them to the United States, where, in 1972, they established Maruchan USA. At first, Maruchan USA was only a marketing company, importing and distributing ramen from Japan. After operating for five years as a distributor of imported products, Maruchan built its own manufacturing facility in Irvine, California. By then (1977) began producing Maruchan brand ramen at the Irvine factory. Since 1977 Maruchan has grown steadily and has become an industry leader in North America, alongside other instant noodle brands such as Nissin Top Ramen and Sapporo Ichiban.

Maruchan is a Japanese word composed of two parts, maru and chan. Maru means round, as in the shape of a ball or a happy child’s face. In Japanese, round has a connotation of friendliness. The word chan is an honorific suffix, used affectionately for a child or as a term of endearment.

Nissin Chikin Ramen

Chicken Ramen

Nissin Chikin Ramen (日清チキンラーメン, Nisshin Chikin Rāmen) is a noodle brand and the first marketed brand of Japanese instant noodles produced by Nissin Foods since 1958. It was invented by Momofuku Ando after he saw how to cook tempura in his house in Ikeda, Osaka. It is currently referred to in English as Chicken Ramen by the company. The product is sold in Japan with small amounts exported overseas by distributors.

Instant noodles were invented by Taiwanese-Japanese inventor Momofuku Ando in Japan. It was first marketed on 25 August 1958 by Ando's company, Nissin, under the brand name Chikin Ramen. Ando developed the production method of flash frying noodles after they had been made, creating the "instant" noodle. This dried the noodles and gave them a longer shelf life, even exceeding that of frozen noodles. Each noodle block was pre-seasoned and sold for 35 yen. Initially, due to its price and novelty, Chikin Ramen was considered a luxury item, as Japanese grocery stores typically sold fresh noodles for one-sixth their price. Despite this, instant noodles eventually gained immense popularity, especially after being promoted by Mitsubishi Corporation.

Unlike Nissin's other noodles, the ramen does not have seasoning packets but are contained within the noodle itself.

Nongshim

Nongshim Co., Ltd.

Nongshim Co., Ltd. (Hangul: 농심; Hanja: 農心; Translation: Farmer's Heart) is a South Korean food and beverage company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. Nongshim was founded in 1965 under the name Lotte Food Industrial Company. The name was changed to Nongshim in 1978.

Nongshim is the largest ramyun (Hangul: 라면; Japanese: ラーメン; Chinese:拉麵; Translation: instant noodle) and snack company in South Korea. Its products include ramyun, snacks, and bottled water. Nongshim products are now available in over 100 countries.

On September 18, 1965, Nongshim was established under the name Lotte Food Industrial Company in Seoul, South Korea. When Nongshim introduced its first ramyun, Lotte Ramyun, in 1965, there were 7 other companies in the market.

As a second mover in the ramyun industry, Nongshim focused on Research and Development. Along with the South Korea’s first commercialized snack, Shrimp Cracker (Hangul: 새우깡; Romanization: Saewookang; 1971), Beef Ramyun (Hangul: 소고기라면; 1970), and Nongshim Ramyun (1975), Nongshim achieved 35% market share in the mid-1970s. On March 6, 1978, Nongshim changed its name from Lotte Food Industrial Company to Nongshim Co., Ltd.

During the 1980s, Nongshim invested highly on machinery, equipment, and systems. The Ansung factory was built in 1981 to specialize in powder soup, used to flavor the ramyun.

Many of the Nongshim’s famous ramyun products were introduced during the 1980s: Neoguri (Hangul: 너구리; Seafood Udon Soup; 1982), Ansungtangmyun (Hangul: 안성탕면; 1983), Jjapagetti (Hangul: 짜파게티; 1984) And Shin Ramyun (Hangul: 신라면; 1986). Cup and bowl type noodles were also introduced during this period.
