Message from President
Our group is a food manufacturer that develops and manufactures salads and side dishes, processed egg products, mayonnaise, and dressings for business use.
Our company was established in 1958, and we made a full-scale entry into the business-use market as a manufacturer specializing in mayonnaise in 1961.
In 1977, we developed “Long-life Salad,” which boasts an extended shelf life, for the first time in Japan.
Since its launch, we have maintained the top market share as a pioneer in the industry. In addition, as a result of continuing to develop products with other features on a daily basis, we provide more than 1,500 products to accurately meet the diverse needs of our customers.
The strength of our group is that we do not only sell products but also have a sales style that proposes menus. Our company has grown and developed along with the expansion of the restaurant and home meal market. We continue to focus on menu development so that we can make proposals that suit each customer, while maintaining a wide product lineup that meets customer needs and excellent product development capabilities.
Our customers are all food professionals such as convenience stores, restaurants, and mass retailers. The food market has changed significantly due to the impact of COVID-19, and we have responded to each business type in a detailed manner with coordination between sales, product development, and menu development.
We are also working on developing products and menus that can respond quickly to customer expectations. In addition, at our production bases across the country, we are implementing SDGs initiatives that include a thorough commitment to ingredients and quality that lead to deliciousness, safety and reliability, consideration for environmental conservation, and involvement with local communities.
The environment surrounding the current food market continues to be challenging due to soaring raw material prices in Japan and overseas, rising energy costs, and exchange rate risks.
In addition, the environment surrounding our industry is expected to change significantly in Japan in the future, with the population declining due to the low birthrate and aging society progressing further, and the number of single-person households and dual-income households increasing.
In order to turn this situation into an opportunity, we will streamline and consolidate products that are not affected by fluctuations in the social environment and costs to be able to secure profits.
Toward the realization of a sustainable society, we sincerely act on the goals of our sustainability policy, which is based on contributions to the environment, society, and health.
Food options are expanding and food styles are diversifying. With “salad cuisine” as our keyword, the group is focusing on creating new markets, earning the trust of all stakeholders and meeting their expectations. We will continue to expand our business to meet these needs.
We look forward to your continued support and patronage.
KENKO Mayonnaise Co.,Ltd.
