  • Basic recognition and philosophy regarding quality
    • For our company, which is sustained by our customers, 'quality' is the lifeline that protects the lives of our employees and their families.
    • 'Quality' includes not only the finished products and services, but also the quality of all work done to improve customer satisfaction, but as a company that manufactures products that affect the health of our customers and that they put in their mouths, we place particular importance on 'food safety' as the central pillar of 'quality'.
    • With sincerity and the unity of knowledge and action as our guiding principles, we will provide products that delight our customers and create quality that is safe and reliable, thereby winning even greater satisfaction and trust, and becoming a group of people needed by our customers and a company needed by society.

      ※ Unity of knowledge and action: “Knowledge” refers to recognition, and “action” refers to practice. Knowing and doing are two aspects of the workings of the mind, and are essentially two sides of the same coin. This is a core idea of the philosophy of neo-Confucianism, which holds that true knowledge must be accompanied by practice. In this basic philosophy, it means that there should be no situation where something is known but not put into practice. It means that there should be no situation where rules and manuals are in place but not being followed, utilized, or put into practice in the field.
