Message from New Representative Director and President, Takeo Suzuki

New Representative Director and President, Takeo Suzuki

This year marks our 78th anniversary since the company's founding and our 67th fiscal year.

Since our founder, Ginshiro Yokokeki, started the oil and fat processing business in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, in 1948, we have consistently explored the possibilities of natural oils and fats.

Thanks to the support of many business partners, our business areas have expanded from edible oils and fats to cosmetics and industrial oils and fats, as well as the processing of natural waxes and chemical products.

Moving forward, we are committed to meeting the expectations of everyone in our supply chain, with reliable quality and stable supply as the core of our management.
