The founder of our company, Takao Furukawa was familiar with sales about cooked beans and bread after the war. However, as food shortage was improving, he had to discard unsold reluctantly. He thought “Mottainai. I want something to change.” His righteous indignation was a cue to change packaging machinery manufacture in the future. “To think about happiness of more people is to make us happy.” This our basic philosophy inherits our founder’s aspiration more than sales.
