To meet these growing needs, the new company is responding with a system that, in addition to providing a stable supply of food ingredients, is able to propose winning final products, distribution, and other essentials appropriate for each locality.

Furthermore, by setting up and consolidating the new sales and distribution system, the Group is planning to double its sales in the Asian region in two years.
