Fuji Food Products is a company based in Santa Fe Springs, California, United States. They are well-known for making ready-to-eat sushi products. You can find their sushi in many supermarkets across the United States. The company is owned by a group called Meruelo Group, which bought it in 2009.
The Story of Fuji Food Products
Fuji Food Products started in 1990. It began as a family business in San Diego, California. At first, they supplied sushi to local grocery stores.
By 1998, Fuji Food Products began selling their products to much larger supermarket chains. This helped their business grow a lot! Today, their sushi is available in most states across the United States.
Fuji Food Products has more than 500 employees. This makes them the largest provider and distributor of pre-packaged sushi in the country.
Expanding the Business
In April 2011, Fuji Food Products bought another company. This company was called Okami, Inc. Okami made different kinds of ethnic meals. This purchase helped Fuji Food Products offer even more food choices.
A Change in Operations
In 2019, Fuji Food Products decided to close one of their facilities. This facility was located in Brockton, Massachusetts. The closure happened after some quality concerns were raised by major markets like Trader Joe's.
