TORRANCE, Calif., April 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Zojirushi, manufacturer of premium kitchen appliances and vacuum insulated products, celebrates 30 years in the U.S. market this month. Zojirushi began distributing their products in the U.S. in 1968, but established Zojirushi America Corporation in Bell, California in April 1987 to better connect with their customers. This direct link in place, Zojirushi pursued their goal to create innovative products that would improve the American customer's way of life. To celebrate this milestone, Zojirushi has launched a 30 Days for 30 Years Giveaway campaign, #ZOJIRUSHIHAPPY30THGIVEAWAY, which is currently running.

Zojirushi has used its advanced technologies to develop an impressive household lineup over the past three decades, with specific products designed for the U.S. consumer. "We constantly strive to outdo ourselves… we're always trying to one-up past innovations," said Tatsu Yamasaki, President & CEO of Zojirushi America. "We have had tremendous growth in the U.S. over these 30 years, and we look forward to the future of this brand and the ways in which it might meet the everyday needs of our customers."

Zojirushi was established in 1918 as the Ichikawa Brothers Trading Company in Osaka, Japan. The first products launched were glass-lined vacuum carafes, which set an industry standard for high-quality vacuum-insulated products. Their patented Air Pot® was introduced in the 1970's, and in the 80's, Micro computerized rice cookers were unveiled. The company has continued to expand their product line ever since. 2018 will mark the company's 100th Anniversary.
