Thank you very much for visiting our website.

My name is Shuji Oe and I assumed the post of President & CEO on April 1, 2022.

I have worked in food-related businesses both in Japan and overseas for more than 30 years and am ready to assume this position of responsibility in a company that befits the culmination of the expertise I have accumulated during this time. I look forward to working with you all in this new capacity.

We are an ITOCHU Group company that deals comprehensively in principal food materials.  We are constantly striving to expand our activities in the food value chain beyond the raw materials and ingredients in the upstream sector to include services for convenience stores, café chains, and the like such as product development proposals and marketing, and product quality control and evaluation services.

As a member of the ITOCHU Group, we follow its corporate mission of sampo yoshi (benefiting the buyer, the seller, and society), its Guideline of Conduct of "I am One with Infinite Missions," and its policy of “business transformation through marketing.” At the same time, we adhere to our corporate philosophy and vision of “working in partnership with customers to contribute to the evolution of food” and of being a designer of food connections.
In recent years, we have also begun to focus our efforts on activities to address the SDGs with a view to realizing a carbon-neutral society and environmental sustainability. These efforts are producing tangible results, such as measuring CO2 emissions through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the supply chain of cocoa beans, the raw material for chocolate, and collaborating in environmental and poverty reduction measures through the provision of medical support for farmers in the major cocoa bean producing country of Ghana.

If we are to move forward in close collaboration with our business partners to uncover the latent needs of an ever-diversifying market and investigate the issues to be solved, we must first and foremost enjoy a greater level of trust than any other player. To secure this level of trust, I believe it is important to have sincerity and dedication, as well as wisdom backed by experience and the ability to act. I am confident that our employees possess these qualities and that they will serve you well.
