"This expansion marks an exciting milestone for Nasoya as we continue to drive growth in the plant-based category," said KS Cho, market CEO at Pulmuone Foods USA, parent company of Nasoya. "This allows us to expand relationships with our valued retail and food service partners and also reinforces our commitment to U.S. manufacturing and sustainable growth for the future."
Fueled by consumer interest in wholesome plant-based foods that are affordable, minimally processed and more sustainable, Pulmuone, Nasoya's parent brand, said tofu sales have increased by $48 million from 2022 to 2025 (38% increase).
The brand is also strengthening its foodservice presence, with growing partnerships with colleges and universities across the country like the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst, Yale University, University of Michigan and Virginia Tech, as well as with fast casual/QSR restaurants like WaBa Grill and Panda Express.
No longer a niche category, tofu is found in retailers everywhere. In the past year, Pulmuone has expanded its retail footprint by 5%, and is available in all 50 states, at more than 50 major retailers, including Walmart, Kroger and Publix.
Nasoya's manufacturing footprint also includes a 91,900-square-foot plant in Fullerton, California, giving the growing brand coast-to-coast capacity. With advanced production technologies and automated systems, the facility will allow the brand to significantly scale production.
