2026 Fiscal Year New Product Theme
"Creating the Future of Food Together: Bringing Smiles to Dining Tables Worldwide Through Food Tech"
In the food industry, there is a demand for providing various values beyond just "deliciousness," "safety and peace of mind," and "stable supply," including environmental considerations and support for diversity. Furthermore, consumer sentiment is trending downward due to rising prices of food and other goods, in addition to the instability of raw material and fuel prices driven by climate change and geopolitical risks. On the other hand, against the backdrop of robust inbound demand, the global market is increasingly recognizing the quality of Japanese food.
Against this backdrop, the 2026 fiscal year new products include six varieties that, in addition to functionality such as "deliciousness" and "ease of use," contribute to solving various food-related issues by utilizing ADEKA's strength in food tech.
With concepts focused on "products that contribute to both 'deliciousness' and 'cost-efficiency'" and "products that support overseas exports," we aim to further develop the hotel, restaurant, and cafe (HoReCa) sectors, souvenir confectionery, and the prepared food/home-meal replacement market, where demand is expected to grow, while accelerating overseas exports and global expansion.
In addition to the six varieties being launched now, we plan to announce further new products within the 2026 fiscal year that will contribute to our customers' creation of better products while responding to raw material supply anxieties and price fluctuations.

Supplementary Information: About the Food Business "RISU BRAND"
Since beginning the production of "RISU" brand margarine in 1929, we have been developing processed oils and fats and processed foods for commercial use, developed with proprietary technology, to realize the "deliciousness" of various foods that line daily dining tables, such as bread and confectionery.
Through the provision of high-value-added products, such as the "Deli-PLANTS" series of plant-based foods that focus on "deliciousness" and "ease of use," and the "Marvelous" series of commercial margarines that maintain the deliciousness of freshly baked bread and contribute to food loss reduction, we support the resolution of issues surrounding the food industry and our customers' menu creation.
In the medium-term management plan "ADX 2026," which started in 2024, we are establishing a specialized organization for overseas market development to contribute to rich dietary lifestyles "globally" while seeking to expand sales domestically, and are promoting overseas expansion into regions such as Europe, the United States, and India.
