The company operates through three main segments—condiments and processed foods, eggs, and salads and delicatessen—serving retail, restaurant, and institutional customers in Japan, North America, China, Southeast Asia including Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia, and Europe including Poland and the Netherlands; it maintains production facilities in Japan such as Hashikami, Goka, Nakagawara, Kobe, Izumisano, and Tosu, alongside international sites via subsidiaries like Kewpie Americas Inc. and Q&B Foods. Founded in November 1919 and headquartered at 1-4-13 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan, Kewpie Corporation emphasizes quality assurance, sustainability initiatives like its Kewpie Sustainability Plan targeting 30% greenhouse gas reduction by 2030, and research and development allocating around 3% of revenue to innovations including plant-based mayonnaise and health-focused sauces. In recent developments, the company opened a second U.S. manufacturing facility in Tennessee in May 2025 through its Q&B Foods division, tripling North and South American production capacity for mayonnaise and dressings to meet rising demand, reduce delivery times, and expand into home-cooked meals, ready-made foods, and restaurant sectors; it also executed a share exchange agreement in July 2025 to acquire Aohata Corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary, enhancing fruit processing capabilities, joint branding, sales channels, and synergies in production and procurement; additionally, Kewpie announced plans for share repurchases to improve capital efficiency and continues global expansion via joint ventures and investments in regions like the U.S. and Asia.
