Message from the President
To grow with society and become a valuable presence
KATO SANGYO was founded in 1945 as a drinking water wholesaler, and was incorporated as a stock company in 1947. Since then, we have grown by constantly taking on new challenges while confronting various difficulties.
Throughout our long history, our employees have been united by our "Corporate Credo." It is the belief that we will grow and earn greater recognition by contributing to society, maintaining a proactive attitude to change, and aim to become the most valuable presence in the market.
In 2017, we at the KATO SANGYO Group set forth our "Group Mission," which defines both our social mission and business areas, that is, the value we aim to provide through our business activities and the role we seek to play in society as we take on challenges and grow to the next stage.
As a company that deals with food, we are committed to sustainability initiatives that aim to preserve the food of tomorrow. We aim to strengthen family community and bonds through the enjoyment of a variety of foods rich in seasonality and regional characteristics, which are the intrinsic value of food, and by fostering and passing on food culture, ultimately contributing to healthy and wholesome lifestyles.
Through our mission of realizing "People's Happiness" by offering a "Rich Dietary Life", we will continue to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society and aim to achieve sustainable growth as a company with social value.
