I have been involved in ”Foodware” for 22 years.
and five years have passed since I succeeded the company as the third President.
and who always brings the happiness to its customers.
When you see the word “Infrastructure”, things like electricity, water, gas and public transportations may come to your mind. Much in the same way, “Foodware” plays an essential role within the supply chain of the food industry that brings food from where it is produced to your table. Just as you turn on a faucet and water comes out, or you flip a switch and lights come on, our work supports the system from behind the scene.
Styrofoam food trays are used for packaging foods such as meat, fish, and vegetables. Once they have served their purpose they are usually thrown away, leading to an image of negative environmental impact. But in my view it’s no exaggeration to say that these little, seemingly insignificant trays, together with wraps and chilled cases, have made it possible for us to enjoy foods from all over the world.
If today’s fish is bigger than yesterday’s, the size of the tray needs to be reconsidered. If the rival store switches the way of merchandizing, different plastic bags should be used. There, our creativity and ingenuity come into play.
The world around us is becoming more and more convenient. You seldom see a super-cashier at a supermarket. Train stations now let you pass through the gates by swiping cards. YONEYAMA, however, will focused on the kind of business that can’t be automated, that can’t be replaced with machines.
The times are changing, so the consumers’ needs, preferences, lifestyles and values. We believe there will be no future for YONEYAMA if we keep doing things as yesterday. Every member of YONEYAMA will constantly pursue to provide the “best work” by seeing ourselves through the tough eyes of our customers.
