NIS Foods Service Corporation

NIS Foods Service Co., Ltd., established in February 1998 with a capital of 10 million JPY, is a key operating company within the larger ITOCHU Corporation Group and Nippon Access Group. The company's headquarters is located in the Sumitomo Fudosan Osaki Garden Tower in Nishishinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo (1-1-1 Nishishinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, 141-8582 Japan), and the Representative Director is Katsunori Ukai.

The corporate philosophy is deeply rooted in the "Sanpo Yoshi" spirit of the Omi merchants, which the ITOCHU Group traces its origins to. "Sanpo Yoshi" means "good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for society." The company is committed to promoting business with this value, recognizing that a trade is only truly good when it contributes positively to society, not just satisfying the immediate parties involved.

The company's core MISSION is to "deliver high-quality, delicious foods, recognized globally, that enrich daily life, to Japanese dining tables." To achieve this, NIS Foods Service acts as a vital bridge, importing carefully selected, high-quality, and branded food products from around the world to the Japanese market.

The Business Activities primarily consist of three pillars:

1. Agency Sales of Premium Imported Brand Foods: Leveraging the global sourcing capabilities of ITOCHU Corporation, the company secures exclusive rights and acts as the sales agent for numerous world-leading food brands. These products are then actively marketed and sold to a vast network of mass retailers across Japan, including General Merchandise Stores (GMS), food supermarkets, drugstores, convenience stores, and specialty shops.

2. Sales Proposals to Stores Nationwide via a Unique Network: Utilizing its extensive sales coverage across Japan, the company not only proposes the introduction of delicious international foods to retailers but also proactively suggests efficient sales promotion activities and special event planning to maximize product sales and visibility on store shelves.

3. Product Development Support and Sales Agency Services: NIS Foods Service offers comprehensive support that goes beyond simple distribution. This includes new product development assistance, accepting OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) contracts, and acting as a sales representative. The goal is to partner with clients to nurture products, place new items on national retail shelves, and implement optimized marketing strategies to cultivate them into long-standing, best-selling products.

Furthermore, the company places a high priority on the well-being of its staff by promoting "Health and Productivity Management". This commitment to employee health has been formally recognized, resulting in the acquisition of the "Silver Certified Health & Productivity Management Organization" status from the Tokyo Federation of Health Insurance Societies in October 2021. Through such initiatives, the company strives to boost employee vitality and productivity, ensuring a fulfilling, secure, and long-term working environment for every individual.

In summary, NIS Foods Service Co., Ltd. embodies its Sanpo Yoshi VALUE while pursuing its VISION to contribute to the growth of the Japanese imported food market as a leading supplier, ensuring that high-quality global cuisine is readily accessible to Japanese consumers.
