ASC Funabashi Center

We respond promptly to customer needs with domestic repackaging,
conducting visual inspections, microbiological testing, and ensuring compliance with quality standards.

The Funabashi Center offers two essential functions. First, it has a microbiological testing lab for thorough product safety verification. Secondly, while performing repackaging tasks, foreign matter and impurities are also inspected.

Though cost-effective to import small packaged items from overseas, many requests are for repacking small bags into our own brand packaging despite a slight cost increase.

For products like “Mixed Berries,” we can also mix multiple fruits at specified ratios. Utilizing part of the warehouse space, products are swiftly repacked within the same warehouse, providing flexible and timely service to meet customer needs.

Procurement and Logistics Division

Our team’s goal is to deliver safe, high-quality products. We strive not only to meet standards but also to exceed customer expectations. First, we conduct quality checks at the production site. Rather than relying solely on supplier tests, we perform stringent verification ourselves.
