North America

An introduction to our business in North America, which focuses on pasta sauce (including the RAGÚ™ and Bertolli™ sauce brands) and vinegar.

Initiatives in North America

Spaghetti topped with mozzarella cheese and tomatoes, coated in pasta sauce and garnished with fresh parsley.

In 1981, Mizkan acquired the major vinegar manufacturer, American Industries Company, and successfully entered the US market. After acquiring competitive food brands in North America and entering the growing pepper market, we also entered the pasta-sauce market in 2014.


We have two main business areas: pasta sauce and vinegar. RAGÚ™ and Bertolli™ pasta sauce brands are our biggest sellers. Both are deeply rooted in US food culture, and are household names.

A variety of jarred sauces from RAGÚ and BERTOLLI are lined up.

Our other retail brands include America’s number one brand of cooking wine, Holland House™, and Nakano™ rice vinegar.

 In order to meet consumer demand for authentic flavors and real ingredients for home cooking, we strive to deliver foods that unify taste experience and healthy choices.
