Thank you very much for visiting our website.

I am Shuji Oe, the President & CEO of our company.

Our company is a trading company comprehensively handles major food raw materials within the ITOCHU Group. We deal with essential foods such as rice, sugar, flour, and edible oil, as well as wide range of imported products such as cocoa, nuts, sesame, dairy products, processed starch, food additives, and beverage ingredients. Additionally, we procure many items from domestic manufacturers based on customer requests. Furthermore, we are constantly challenging ourselves to expand our activities along the food value chain, including product development proposals for the foodservice industry such as convenience stores and café chains, providing support for the development of private brand products for retail, and quality control and evaluation services for products.

As a member of the ITOCHU Group, we always keep in mind the group’s corporate philosophy of “Sampo Yoshi” (good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for society), and we continue to practice and accumulate experience in line with the corporate action guidelines of “business transformation through market-in approach.” We aim to contribute to the evolution of food together with our customers and to become a company that designs food connections.

In recent years, we have also been focusing on SDGs activities, considering a decarbonized society and environmental sustainability. For example, we have achieved concrete results such as measuring CO2 emissions through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the cocoa bean supply chain and cooperating with environmental and poverty measures through medical support for farmers in Ghana, one of the main cocoa beans producing regions.

Additionally, with the desire to create a workplace where employees can work comfortably, we are actively promoting and continuously evolving effective measures such as a well-balanced personnel and evaluation system, skill-up training programs for employees at all levels, enhancement of the hybrid work system, and implementation of work-life balance measures that clearly distinguish between on and off time.

We believe that to uncover the potential needs and challenges of the diversifying market and move forward in partnership with our business partners, we must first be a trusted presence more than anyone else. We truly believe that what is important for this is not only sincerity and perseverance, but also problem-solving ability and execution power backed by diverse experiences and knowledge. Our staff members possess these qualities, and we are confident that we can be of great help to you.

Shuji Oe,
President & CEO
