CEO Message

Since our founding in 2000, we have aimed to be a company that can contribute to a life care society that provides health, beauty, and nursing care, and have expanded our business by leveraging our unique global network to procure attractive products and raw materials from overseas.

Returning to the roots of our corporate philosophy since our founding, “The Three F’s (Faith, Future, Fortune: Trust is our future asset),” we are developing competitive products such as food ingredients, nursing care foods, fertilizers, and chemical materials. It’s done.

In recent years, the instability of supply channels due to the uncertainty of the global situation has become increasingly unstable, making supply chain management more important than anything else.

With stable supply as our top priority, we aim not only to develop and expand new suppliers, but also to rebuild a sustainable supply chain, improve customer satisfaction, and grow into a company that is appreciated by many people. I think about this every day and make it my goal.

20 years since our founding, in order to achieve sustainable growth, we have pursued “trading capabilities, R&D capabilities, and product planning capabilities”, and aimed to “nurturing next-generation businesses” and “sophisticating sustainability management” to improve corporate value. All of our employees will continue to work together to achieve this goal. We look forward to your continued support.
