Nikkanne Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kawachi-gun, Tochigi Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Yosuke Kaneda), a wholesale distributor of commercial food products, will introduce the "Muscle Support Program" from May 2026. This program is designed to fully support employees, primarily delivery drivers, in achieving their ideal physique. This new form of employee benefit responds to employees' desire to view dynamic physical activities such as daily deliveries and picking as time for "body-making." As food professionals, we will offer carefully selected ingredients, such as "steamed chicken" containing approximately 23g of protein per 100g of chicken breast, at employee discount prices, providing an environment where employees can most efficiently engage in self-improvement.
■ Background: Passion for "Body-Making" Overflowing from the Field
In recent years, with the growing health consciousness, an increasing number of employees at our company have been actively engaged in muscle training and health management. Delivery drivers, in particular, are required to perform powerful movements daily, such as loading and unloading products and picking. Leveraging this environment, a high level of awareness for body-making, including voluntary protein intake and thorough meal management, was shared within the company. The strong desire, "If we're going to build our bodies, we want to make the most of our products as food professionals!" led to the creation of this program.
■ Three Pillars Supporting "Body-Making as an Employee Benefit"
Proposal for a Work Style that Transforms Physical Activity into "Value"
In the physically demanding environment of logistics and food wholesale, we aim to communicate a new value to both inside and outside the company: "Because it's physically active work, there's joy in building one's body." By creating an environment where health-conscious individuals can thrive, we will promote a workplace where each employee can work long-term and vibrantly.
Food Professionals Provide Solutions for "What to Buy"
To resolve employees' concerns about "too many choices to pick from," we have carefully selected "shredded steamed chicken" and "naturally thawed mini broccoli," which are optimal for muscle generation. We will distribute dedicated flyers containing nutritional knowledge throughout the company, establishing a system that allows employees to practice "professional meal management" without hesitation.
Sustainable Eating Habits Achieved by "Just Thawing"
We have adopted highly convenient commercial frozen foods so that they can be easily consumed even during busy work hours or after returning home. By combining these two items, we provide nutritionally sound support, such as improving protein absorption efficiency and fatigue recovery.
