Morinaga - Firm belief from a 108-year journey

(Dan Tri) - With a history of 108 years of formation and development, Morinaga - a brand from Japan - is increasingly trusted by many consumers for its superior quality products.

108 years of foundation and quality commitment from the “Heart of Japan”

Morinaga Milk Industry's journey began in 1917, gradually becoming one of the leading brands in the Japanese dairy industry and reaching global stature. Morinaga's sustainable value is not only demonstrated through its long history, but also through the combination of global production capacity and strict quality control system.

With a network of more than 14 factories in Japan and 30 branches worldwide, Morinaga maintains its commitment to quality through a dual process: The entire production system complies with the international Codex standards issued by FAO/WHO and is certified by FSSC 22000 - one of the most stringent food safety standards today.

Ingredients such as Lactoferrin and probiotics BB536 are recognized as safe by agencies such as the US FDA (GRAS certification). Each Morinaga product must undergo re-inspection at its own internal analysis room before reaching consumers.

Pioneering Revolution in Lactoferrin Resistance

After two decades of continuous research, Morinaga created a breakthrough product. In 1986, Morinaga successfully added Lactoferrin to formula milk, bringing the “immune shield” closer to children around the world.

Lactoferrin is an important nutrient that plays a role in perfecting and protecting the immune system of young children. Thanks to its strong ability to bind to iron molecules, Lactoferrin not only effectively inhibits infections and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, but also helps to enhance the activation of children's natural immune systems. To date, Morinaga's research on Lactoferrin has been inherited and conducted in depth. Typically, articles proving the effects of "golden resistance" Lactoferrin are continued to be widely updated by Morinaga on their official platforms.

The core of this innovation is the combination of Lactoferrin and probiotic BB536, two ingredients used in many nutritional products in Japan, with the aim of supporting healthy growth and development in children. Lactoferrin contributes to building a resistance barrier, while BB536 optimizes absorption to support a healthy gut.

Lactoferrin Morinaga has achieved GRAS certification from the US FDA, which is a guarantee that opens the door to demanding markets around the world, affirming Lactoferrin Morinaga's quality commitment.

By fully owning the MILEI GmbH factory (Germany) and doubling its capacity, Morinaga affirms its position as the world's leading Lactoferrin manufacturer, with products meeting US GRAS standards, recognized in many countries.

Morinaga continues to step up its research activities. In its latest announcement (December 2024), the company has decoded the mechanism and role of Lactoferrin as a factor that supports the activation of the body's natural immunity.

Among the scientific publications on Lactoferrin globally, Morinaga is the private enterprise that owns the leading number of studies on this nutrient on the SCOPUS academic data system.

Morigana’s R&D department follows the philosophy of “Understanding the heart of a mother is the origin of all research,” which is deeply rooted in the Japanese spirit. All research here starts with empathy for mothers and takes the belief that “quality is honor” as the guiding principle for all actions.

In 2010, when Morinaga entered the Vietnamese market, it was not only a business expansion but also the beginning of a 15-year journey with the mission of bringing the healthy lifestyle of Japan to "touch" the hearts of millions of Vietnamese families with products that meet Japanese standards.

Step by step to realize this vision, in 2023, Morinaga Milk Industry established Morinaga Le May Vietnam Company, becoming a member of Morinaga Milk Group Japan. This move is not only a financial investment, but also an affirmation of considering Vietnam as a strategic market, ensuring 100% genuine products to Vietnamese mothers under the direct quality supervision of the group.

Morinaga has established a strategic partnership with Con Cung - a mother and baby retail system with a nationwide distribution network. This partnership not only helps Morinaga significantly increase brand coverage, but also helps expand its touch points with Vietnamese families in both sales and communication aspects.

From building 108 years of solid trust to the journey of connecting with millions of Vietnamese hearts, Morinaga has been affirming its position in Lactoferrin technology, creating immune nutrition support solutions, and is a guarantee for every Vietnamese family.
