Greetings
Since our establishment in 1961, we have been approaching farming business aiming conversion from “catching-fishery” into “raising-fishery”.
On April 26 in 2013, we reached 50 years since our foundation.
At the time of our establishment, we had started by selling feed of farming fish. Since then, we expanded our business into stocking, selling and processing business of farming fish and artificial hatching business to meet farmer’s needs.
We established the base of business aiming stable supplying of safe and sustainable farming fish.
In 1993, we advanced into Stock Listing and farming business of tuna and eel. We became company which support farming business comprehensively.(?)
We are always pursuing stable supplying of safe, sustainable and delicious fish by standing in consumer’s view and distributing to development of marine products industry in 21 century.
We are going to pursue ultimate “safety and sustainability”, “freshness”, “network” and “branding”.
Thank you for your continuous support. (/ We are looking forward to working with you.)
