The punctuality of Japanese trains, especially the Shinkansen, is well-known and reflects the Japanese temperament. The pursuit of perfection in “monozukuri” (manufacturing) includes a commitment to delivering flawless products to the market, avoiding defective items. As a company focused on producing food, the commitment to this spirit will continue to ensure quality, safety, and reliability.

As our company celebrates its 55th anniversary this year, the demand for supplements and health food is increasing, driven by the aging demographic of our main customers. Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increased focus on health maintenance, leading to high demand for products targeting women (Femtech) and those promoting gut health.
Active efforts are made to employ a diverse workforce, including young, elderly, and handicapped workers. Our company has established a Japanese language school to support foreign workers and facilitate their integration into the company, aiming for mutual development.

Collaboration with universities is crucial, given the decrease in the student population, allowing the company to utilize the specialized knowledge of universities and mutually support each other.
Regarding future strategies, the company is considering further international expansion. In Vietnam, the company has entered the school lunch business, responding to the increasing demand due to the nutritional quality of school lunches and the rise in dual-income households.
