SPAM HOT & SPICY This extra hot version of America's favorite canned luncheon meat is marketed in Guam and may be introduced into other international markets. |
In Japan, Okinawa Hormel Ltd., better than 27 percent owned by Hormel Foods, produces and sells a broad range of Hormel processed and canned meat products while three other companies, Tohzai Sangyo Boeki, Inc., Suzusho Ltd., and Snow Brands Foods, import products produced at Hormel Foods facilities in North America. Snow Brands Foods, in its second year working with HFI, recorded strong growth in bringing pork loins and pork tenderloins into mainland Japan while Tohzai Sangyo Boeki, Inc., succeeded in obtaining the Disneyland theme park in Toyko as a customer for Jennie-O turkey drumsticks.
Korean licensee Cheil Jedang increased sales of SPAM luncheon meat by more than 20 percent. For the first time in many years, SPAM luncheon meat will appear on Korean television with a new commercial featuring popular talk show hostess and SPAM luncheon meat devotee, Ms. Kim. Overall sales through HFI's Australian partnership grew more than six percent with the introduction of new 71/2-oz. Stagg chili varieties and SPAM oven roasted turkey.
