Kewpie Corporation is a Japanese food manufacturer best known for its signature mayonnaise, which was first introduced in 1925. Over the decades, the company has expanded its product portfolio to include a wide range of salad dressings, sauces, margarine and processed foods, as well as baby food and nutritional products. Kewpie’s mayonnaise remains the cornerstone of its offerings, distinguished by a rich flavor and creamy texture derived from an egg-rich formulation.
Established in 1919 in Tokyo, Kewpie has built a reputation for culinary innovation and quality ingredients. Early in its history, the company invested in research and development to tailor its products to Japanese tastes, pioneering techniques in emulsion and flavor enhancement. This commitment to R&D now extends to health-oriented lines, including low-allergen and reduced-fat dressings, as Kewpie seeks to address evolving consumer preferences.
Today, Kewpie serves both domestic and international markets through a network of manufacturing facilities and sales subsidiaries. In Asia, Kewpie products are widely available in Japan, China, Malaysia and Singapore, while operations in North America and Europe cater to growing demand for Japanese-style condiments. Regional production sites enable the company to adapt recipes to local tastes and ensure consistent quality across diverse markets.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Kewpie is led by an executive team focused on sustainable sourcing, product innovation and global brand development. The company continues to explore new applications of its core technologies, including nutrition-oriented foods and value-added processed products. Through strategic partnerships and ongoing investment in manufacturing capabilities, Kewpie aims to reinforce its position as a leading international food manufacturer.
