Representative's Comment

Yukio Takami, President and Representative Director of our company

We are deeply grateful for this achievement, which is entirely due to the long-standing support and patronage of everyone.

Our company was founded in 1955 as a small family-run butcher shop. In 1994, we reorganized into PRECO FOODS Co., Ltd. At that time, we had about 50 restaurants as clients and sales of approximately 150 million yen.

Currently, we have expanded to over 35,900 customers and group sales exceeding 33 billion yen. However, we continue to conduct our business diligently, valuing each and every customer, with the founder's belief, "Business is never boring," in our hearts. This is our origin.

While the food industry is currently receiving global attention, with inbound tourism reaching record highs, there are also challenges such as labor shortages and rising ingredient prices. As a "company that creates the joy of food and smiles," we will continue to strive to be a good partner for the development of restaurants and a company that creates smiles for our customers.
