About Mizkan Euro Ltd

Mizkan Euro Ltd, is the European subsidiary of Mizkan Group, a family-owned, Japanese business started in 1804, which is the number one sushi seasoning supplier in the world. Headed by Kazuhide Nakano, Mizkan Group is a global business with over 3,700 employees world-wide and nearly 220 years’ experience in producing high quality food products.

The symbol and slogan of the Mizkan Group is inspired by the global company slogan of “bringing flavour to life”. The symbol, based on the Matazaemon Nakano family crest, shows three bars representing flavour, tang and aroma, while the circle represents the perfect balance of these characteristics in each of the condiments. The Mizkan name and corporate logo reflect the proud heritage and tradition borne out of nearly 220 years of ownership and market leadership of the categories in which it competes.

The Company operates under Two Principles – ‘Offer the Customers Only the Finest Products’ and ‘Continuously Challenge the Status Quo’. These principles allow Mizkan Group to improve quality and lead continuous innovation whilst pursuing consistent business growth based on ‘Customer comes first’ motto.

With headquarters in West London and manufacturing sites in Middleton, Greater Manchester and Bury St Edmunds, Mizkan Euro Ltd, with its turnover of c.£100m and over 400 employees, is still relatively new to the UK market but pushing towards bigger and bolder horizons whilst staying true to its Mizkan style management and governance which are core to its values and culture.

The Company has continued its worldwide trend in producing high quality food products by adding a number of iconic brands, namely Sarson’s vinegar (2012), Haywards Pickled Vegetables (2012) and Branston pickles, relishes and chutneys (2013). These brands form a portfolio, alongside a number of market leading Japanese sushi seasonings and more recently, OSU, apple cider drinking vinegar (2020).
