Toyo Sugar Refining Co. Ltd., which was founded in 1949, will celebrate its 75th anniversary on November 29, 2024. For over 75 years since its establishment, Toyo Sugar Refining Co. Ltd. has been stably supplying safe and secure products to customers through its fundamental policy, and under a safety management system based on the FSSC22000 Scheme, it has been working diligently to manufacture and supply refined sugar as a main product, as well as ingredients for functional food, food additives, and cosmetics.
The sugar business is currently facing a difficult market environment because of the nationwide decline in sugar consumption due to changes in customer tastes and other factors. Even in this situation, we will continue to position the sugar business as our core business field and work on further improvement of production efficiency and quality, mainly with our joint manufacturing company Pacific Sugar Mfg. Co., Ltd., in order to ensure a stable supply of sugar with the Mitsuhana logo to satisfy our customers.
In the functional ingredients business, we are a company that pioneers to develop new applications of products made with the glycosyl transfer technology by using natural products. As health consciousness continues to grow in the market environment, we are committed to pursue the potential of natural ingredients such as stevia, rutin, hesperidin, and citron polyphenol and supply products that will gain the trust and satisfaction of our customers.
While continuing to work on universal safety and security that we have cultivated over our long history, we will also keep up-to-date with changes in the external environment and strive toward aggressive structural reforms.
We will appreciate the continuous support from all our customers and stakeholders.
June 2024
