TORRANCE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 2003

On March 7, 2003, Sun Chlorella USA celebrates 20 successful years in the nutritional health field. Under the guidance of company president George Higashida, Sun Chlorella USA has successfully educated hundreds of

thousands of health-conscious Americans, by introducing them to the amazing health benefits of Sun Chlorella, a fresh-water green algae. In doing so, they continue the legacy of founder Mr. Hideo Nakayama in helping people around the world to achieve optimum levels of health with Sun Chlorella.

"This is an extremely proud moment in time for us," said George Higashida, President of Sun Chlorella USA. "When I started out 20 years ago, we had two people in the company - including myself. Now, we have approximately 90 employees. The reason that we have accomplished this milestone is because of the devotion of everyone working together as a family."

Now, that vision is closer than ever imagined. Sun Chlorella USA now has two offices in the United States (California and New York). Sun Chlorella Europe began operations not long ago, with its headquarters based in Munich, Germany and Sun Chlorella China is ready to launch in Shanghai. The Sun Chlorella name is internationally known to avid natural health advocates everywhere.

The company has grown more than 1,000 percent since 1995. In January 2002, monthly sales totaled almost $3 million, an 80 percent increase over January 2001. Projected sales for this year are approximately $36 million.

Sun Chlorella USA is in its infancy in the United States. However, in Japan, which is a more mature market for Sun Chlorella, annual sales are $200 million. We have just begun to tap a larger market and we estimate, based upon the aging baby boomers and their emerging concerns for long-term health, our market potential is at least $200 million and could be as much as $400 million.

Sun Chlorella USA has been a Torrance-based company for 20 years! Due to our consistent company growth, product sales through education, advertising, and PR, we have purchased our first building effective October 2002. Our projected move in date for the new Corporate headquarters is November 2003.
