Promoting Food & Life for Tomorrow
- Strive forward with responsibility and pride.
In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the powerful force of nature inevitably revealed many hardships for us. Not to mention how a company can make a contribution to the society, now's the time for those working inside a company to have deep reflection on the true meaning of seizing the day as well. Taking the position as President at such a time has brought me solemn sense of responsibility.
Consequently, the enormous earthquake showed the significance of the Nosan Group's presence in the society. Nosan's business foundation is made up of three fields; livestock and fishery feed, pet food, and Hikari iodine-enriched egg, all of which play the core roles in responding to consumer demand for food safety. We take pride in committing ourselves to such essential industry that drives "the cycle of life".
The business environment surrounding us has become increasingly severe in recent years. However, making prompt recovery from the current hardship and strengthening our business are what I perceive as challenges for the Nosan Group's further growth.
In order to achieve our social mission "contributing to people's health and happiness through the cycle of life," we, Nosan Group, are strongly determined to stand in unity to expand our feed business, extend our pet food business, and enhance our Hikari brand egg business. In so doing, we take the steady step forward.
