At a time of instability following the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011, NISSIN FOOD PRODUCTS CO., LTD. mounted an all-out effort to supply its main product lines, the Cup Noodle series and Nissin-no-Donbei series, as emergency food products. In other developments, the year ended March 31, 2012 marked the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Cup Noodle series, and cumulative sales since the introduction passed the 20 billion-serving milestone. Although MYOJO FOODS CO., LTD. enjoyed brisk sales throughout the year of its mainstay brand, the MYOJO CHARUMERA series, net sales decreased year on year on lower sales of open-price products. As a result, NISSIN FOOD PRODUCTS'net sales of instant noodles increased 1.6% year on year to ¥199,284 million (U.S.$2,425 million)
NISSIN CHILLED FOODS CO., LTD. enjoyed favorable sales of the Gyoretsu-no-Dekiru-Mise-no-Ramen series, a long-selling brand in its 15th year.
