Executive Summary
Umeya Inc. manufacturers and distributes health conscious rice based snacks while offering other Asian based confectionary that includes traditional sesame/flaxseed crackers and fortune cookies. Our products are sold to ethnic centered retailers, wholesaled in bulk to mainstream markets, and private labeled by our partners throughout the United States and also parts of Japan.
After the initial stages of a globalized snacking industry during the early millennium, the growth trend has been detracted by several risks associated with a decentralized global sourcing approach. Our company manufactures in the US prioritizing transparency and quality control throughout the supply chain. Furthermore, our aim is to provide solutions to health wellness and nutritional value for on-demand consumer lifestyles that are seeking alternative substitutes to the organized meal.
