Operating through around 80 subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide, its businesses include processed food; logistics; marine products (chiefly [[roe]], [[shrimp]], and [[octopus]]); [[meat]] and [[poultry]]; [[real estate]]; and biosciences. The company's bioscience work includes antibody development and manufacturing, [[immunology]] products, and natural materials processing. ==History== The company was founded on 24 December 1942, as Teikoku Marine Products Control Company, with [[capital participation]] from 18 fisheries and other companies. It was established in accordance with the Fisheries Control Ordinance that was enacted on 19 May 1942, as a central agency to control seafood-related businesses such as sales of marine products, ice production, and refrigerated storage. On 1 December 1945, the day after the control ordinance was abolished (30 November 1945), the company was reorganized as a privately held company governed by the commercial code, and was renamed Nippon Reizo Co. Ltd. The new company was listed on the [[Tokyo Stock Exchange]] in 1949.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hoovers.com/company/Nichirei_Corporation/hjxyki-1.html |title=Information on Hoovers |access-date=2010-10-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.answers.com/topic/nichirei-corporation|title=Information on answers.com|website=[[Answers.com]] |access-date=2010-10-27}}</ref> Nippon Reizon changed its name to Nichirei Corporation in 1985.<ref>{{cite web|author=M.L.Cohen|url=http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history/Mi-Nu/Nichirei-Corporation.html|title=referenceforbusiness.com page on Nichirei|access-date=2010-10-27}}</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Nikkei 225}} {{Authority control}} [[Category:Food and drink companies based in Tokyo]] [[Category:Real estate companies based in Tokyo]] [[Category:Service companies based in Tokyo]] [[Category:Disaster preparedness]] [[Category:Defense companies of Japan]] [[Category:Companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange]] [[Category:Companies in the Nikkei 225]] [[Category:Food and drink companies established in 1942]] [[Category:Japanese companies established in 1942]] [[Category:Fuyo Group]]'
