About Us

Megmilk Snow Brand Co., Ltd. was formed through the merger of Snow Brand Milk Products Co., Ltd. and Nippon Milk Community Co., Ltd in 2011, and focuses on the milk and dairy products business. Since the foundation of Snow Brand Milk Products, one of our origins, our strength has been in dairy products such as butter and cheese. In recent years, yogurt and functional foods have also grown significantly.In May 2023, we announced the Snow Brand Megmilk Group Medium-Term Management Plan 2025. With that understanding, we re-identified our purpose and commitment as the application of our founding spirit, the concept of “Kendo Kenmin (a healthy earth ensures human health)” towards resolving social issues.

We will apply our founding spirit of “Kendo Kenmin (a healthy earth ensures human health)” towards resolving social issues. As we apply our vast knowledge and functions cultivated through milk (the milk value chain), we will achieve food sustainability.
