Strengthening development of food additive formulations, pharmaceutical ingredients and formulations for primary industries

「As a result, FFA production capacity increased by approximately 1.5 times, the company launched new products for cooked rice and other applications, secured approximately 200 new opportunities through trade shows, and increased sales in the Chinese market.」

「研究開発にも一層力を入れ、東京研究所の増床を実施するとともに、研究開発体制の強化を図りました。」

「The company sought to expand sales of new products such as coated fruit acids, formulations for cooked rice, oxidation inhibitors and browning inhibitors, launch new products such as powdered acetic acid, readily soluble fumaric acid and formulations for gluten-free foods, and expand its stress-free formulation business. As a result, as described below, the new product lineup saw an increase in product launches and new adoptions.」

「The company also launched other new products, including Lunch Fresh R (S) and Lunch Fresh CT, shelf-life extenders, and Kipcalon FR-T and Oxynergy, oxidation and browning inhibitors, and made progress in securing new customers.」

「In addition, we have strengthened our research and development structure and accelerated efforts to develop new products.」

「In addition, we have strengthened our research and development structure and continued efforts to develop new products.」

「In addition, Techno Acid A (powdered acetic acid), Techno Acid F (an easily soluble fumaric acid formulation) and Weldo S (a formulation for gluten-free foods), 3 next-generation products with new concepts launched in fiscal 2022, have received high customer evaluations. We will work toward establishing a production structure and starting sales at an early stage in fiscal 2023.」

「We advanced initiatives to strengthen our sales structure for sales expansion and price revisions, promote new product development, and strengthen our research and development structure, including expanding research facilities.」

「In March 2022, we launched 3 oil-coated organic acid products that we had been developing as next-generation products: Coat Fruit Acid M, an oil-coated malic acid product; Coat Fruit Acid C, an oil-coated citric acid product; and Coat Fruit Acid V, an oil-coated vitamin C product.」

「We also worked to further strengthen our management base, including securing a stable supply of raw materials and developing new products.」

「We worked to further strengthen our management base, including through new product development.」

「We aimed to develop oil-coated organic acids with excellent coating performance and the ability to meet diverse customer needs as next-generation core products, introduce production equipment and commercialize the products during fiscal 2020, and begin sales. Although development has produced certain results, the introduction of manufacturing equipment was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. We decided in September 2021 to construct the manufacturing equipment, and construction is currently under way.」

「Development of oil-coated organic acids also progressed, and we are considering mass production. We worked on developing new products for agricultural, fisheries and livestock applications that improve stress tolerance and support growth. In particular, we advanced formulation development for plant applications, and some products were adopted.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group worked to further strengthen its business foundation to sustain growth. To meet expected growth in demand for its products, it worked to expand production capacity, strengthen logistics and production systems, secure a stable supply of raw materials, reduce costs, develop new products and focus on expanding sales through overseas operations.」

「For new product development, we worked on food additive formulations such as quality improvers for processed chicken and fish products, high-value-added products such as high-purity and coated fruit acids, and new products for agricultural, fisheries and livestock applications that improve stress tolerance and support growth. New products have been increasingly adopted, helped by the results of proactive sales activities.」

「Against this backdrop, to meet increasing demand, the Group worked to further strengthen its business foundation by expanding production capacity, reviewing logistics and production systems, securing raw materials, strengthening cost competitiveness, developing new products and expanding overseas operations, among other initiatives.」

「Our main activities during the consolidated fiscal year included focusing on proposing recipes for processed foods that incorporate customer needs in the food sector. As a result, we launched multiple food additive and seasoning formulations, which were adopted for processed foods sold through supermarkets and convenience stores.」

「Against this backdrop, to meet growing demand, the Group has been working to expand production capacity, further strengthen its management capabilities through ongoing reviews of logistics and production systems, secure a stable supply of raw materials, strengthen cost competitiveness, develop new products and expand sales through overseas operations.」

「In product development, we will strengthen development of food additive formulations suited to customer needs, including quality improvers and flavor enhancers, pharmaceutical ingredients compliant with GMP standards, and secondary powder-processed products based on our existing products. We will also develop new formulations based on our proprietary fruit acids for primary industries such as agriculture, fisheries and livestock farming, which are expected to undergo major changes as a result of the government’s growth strategies and other factors.」
