Monde Nissin Corporation was originally incorporated as Monde Denmark Nissin Biscuit Corporation in 1980 when it started out manufacturing biscuits. Among its products were Nissin Butter Coconut and Nissin Wafer.

In 1989, the company ventured into the instant noodle segment under the Lucky Me! brand. It has become the leading brand of instant noodles in the Philippines.[1] The company later launched the very first dry noodle in pouches (the Lucky Me! Pancit Canton) and the first bowl noodle (Lucky Me! Supreme La Paz Batchoy).

The Lucky Me! brand currently accounts for 64% of the company's retail sales.

In 2002, the company acquired M.Y.[2] San Corporation, the manufacturer of the popular brands Sky Flakes, M.Y. San Graham Crackers, and Fita.[3] Subsequently, the company changed its name to Monde M.Y. San Corporation.[4]

In 2014, Monde Nissin acquired Black Swan, and in 2015 acquired Nudie Juices and Menora Foods.[5]
