Pursuing food and life science businesses
that lead to healthy, comfortable lifestyles
The Life Industry Division is expanding two of its business areas, the food business, which handles marine and agricultural products, and the life science business, which mainly deals in materials for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, insect repellants and insecticides, air fresheners and deodorants.
Our life science business offers total solutions ranging from the manufacturing of ingredients and intermediates of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals overseas, procurement of equipment and materials for advanced medication, custom synthesis, pharmaceutical distribution services, to the planning and development of household items.
In the food business, we not only import and sell safe and reliable agricultural and marine products from around the world, but also grow blueberries in Japan’s Hokkaido Prefecture and process marine products in Vietnam. Our business covers a wide area from upstream to downstream.
Our division is also focused on strengthening the global business. We offer Japanese quality functional food and drinks for private brands, which enjoy a high demand in drugstores across Asia. We are also striving to market Japanese food products overseas, such as nori seaweed, wasabi, sesame oil, and shio koji (salted rice malt).
