This brand is part of the larger NASCO conglomerate that also includes soap, detergent, rice mill, property, and logistics companies. The group commenced operations in 1963 as a jute bag production factory. Located in Jos, the facility was the first of its kind in West Africa and provided agribusinesses with bags they needed to store and move their products across long distances. Since then, NASCO has diversified into other industries. NASCO Foods has emerged as its most successful arm, reaching millions of customers over the years. One of its products, the NASCO Cornflakes, has featured on breakfast menus of numerous households for decades. Today, three variants of this product exist; the NASCO Cornflakes Original, NASCO Frosted Cornflakes, and the NASCO Vanilla and Cinnamon. There are also snack-sized versions of the original and frosted flakes.
