CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY

画像 画像
Over 70 years and more, our company has developed with efforts of our predecessors since it was established as Gunma Funka Kogyosho K.K. in Shibukawa, Gunma in June 1947. Depending on the times we have expanded our business, and gained immense trust as a comprehensive manufacturer of rice flour and other ingredients of confectionery and breadmaking.

Good taste, good health, fashion ━ values expected from food vary over time, and always, it is our challenge to design a new value by fusing them into a higher level. We believe the challenge is achievable only when rooted in our tradition and experience, cutting-edge technology and progressive sprit. Our ‘Riz Farine’ (rice flour designed for pastry), is an excellent proof because it is a pioneering work, symbolic fusion of tradition and innovation that shows new capability of rice flour that was mostly used for Japanese traditional sweets before. The values only we can make are also represented by products such as ‘Caférine’ (pure coffee flour of micro-fineness) or whole rice flour made from nutritionally featured rice varieties unique to Japan.

We also value new ideas about food. ‘Better choice’ including allergy consciousness, personal or social principles, sustainability is a significant key when we pick up what we eat. Our values are strengthened by certificates such as ‘FSSC22000’, ‘Gluten Free Certification Organization’ or ‘Halal’, managed under strict traceability and quality control. Our goal is the realization of a society where everyone enjoys at dinner table for comfort, without any worry.

A company is its people. In the firm belief that faithful and motivated work members lead to business development and sustainability, our company will give our best to support the food industry and society by providing high-quality and safety-assured food stably. We highly appreciate your continuous cooperation and look forward to future business.
