Company History of Kokuyo Co., Ltd.
- —
Kokuyo Co., Ltd. was established in September 1980 for the manufacture of frozen seafood products. In June 1983, the frozen processing facility underwent comprehensive renovation and was converted into a frozen food factory. The company received certification as a recognized factory by the Japan Frozen Food Association in April 1985. Sanyo Co., Ltd. was established in November 1987, followed by the construction of a second frozen food factory in September 1989 and the expansion of a smoke processing facility in September 1991. In April 2006, the company began importing salmon from South America (Chile). The headquarters frozen food factory underwent major renovation and installed tunnel freezers in December 2008. HACCP certification was obtained at the headquarters frozen food factory in February 2010. Following the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, all factories were damaged, but a new facility was completed in July 2011. A second cold storage facility was completed in March 2014, followed by the completion of a foreign trainee dormitory in January 2018, a new drying factory in April 2019, a krill oil plant in October 2019, and another cold storage facility in March 2020.

Common Pre-Order Questions
Frequently asked questions from buyers before placing an OEM order. Manufacturer-specific details can be confirmed via a quote request.
What are typical minimum order quantities (MOQ)?
MOQs vary by manufacturer, but listed partners handle anything from small lots (100–1,000 units) up to large-scale production (100,000+). The lower bound depends on raw material sourcing and packaging specs, so confirm exact MOQs in your quote request.
How long does it take from quote to delivery?
Quote replies typically take 3–7 business days. From there, mass-production delivery (including prototyping) generally takes 2–4 months. New formulation development or certification work can extend this past six months. Final schedule is set during the quote phase.
Are prototype or sample fees charged?
Most manufacturers charge for prototypes (typically a few hundred USD up), but the cost is often credited back once mass production is confirmed. Existing-formula samples are sometimes free. Policies vary, so confirm in advance.
Can we sign an NDA?
Yes, generally. Quote requests routed through OEM JAPAN can be covered by an NDA before formulation or recipe details are shared. Either the manufacturer's or the buyer's NDA template can be used.
What shelf-life can be set for food products?
Depends on format and sterilization. Typical targets: retort foods 1–2 years, frozen 1 year, refrigerated 30–90 days, ambient baked goods 90–180 days. Shelf-life is fixed after stability testing (microbial and sensory).
Can allergen labeling and ingredient specs be accommodated?
Yes. Most manufacturers manage the 8 mandatory + 20 recommended allergen items, and some operate gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan dedicated lines. Share any required ingredient specs in the quote request.
Are HACCP or food-safety certifications in place?
HACCP is mandatory for Japanese food manufacturers, so nearly all listed partners operate HACCP or equivalent systems. You can also filter for upper-tier certifications such as FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, JAS, or Organic JAS.
