6 4 | S U P E R B R A N D S V O L U M E I X MARKET The ever dynamic and competitive instant noodle industry continues to gain appeal among consumers who seek great tasting meals, despite demanding work and personal schedules. Nissin Foods (Asia) Pte Ltd, as a brand, has risen to the challenge of exceeding consumer expectations by delivering convenient but delicious meal options, in a variety of flavours and packages. It perceives itself as a partner with customers when it comes to the home cooking of its bag type noodles, and places significant focus on ensuring the cooking process, for tasty meals, is hassle-free. For those on-the-go, Nissin offers cup and bowl options to help recharge and energise this active demographic. Despite already offering a wide variety of flavours, the brand is constantly innovating to further entice new segments of the population, and to expand its reach to broader markets. The prominence of the brand, and the variety it offers, means noodle lovers can enjoy Nissin at any time, and anywhere. Nissin Group has 28 factories in 25 countries outside of Japan, and is well on its way to establishing instant noodles as an essential food item around the world - ultimately striving to become a ‘universal food’.

It was the first noodle specially formulated and approved for consumption in outer space. Following NASA’s stringent quality and safety check, the product was brought aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery in July 2005 by Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi. Space Ram was created using technology developed over several years, that included systems to prevent the noodles and soup from escaping in zero gravity environments. HISTORY Nissin Foods Co.
