| To supply higher quality products at lower prices, we have established
a network that links various related parties. By governing product flow from producer
to consumer, we have acquired extensive expertise regarding all production and
distribution stages. As well, by studying the needs of producers, processors,
manufacturers, and consumers, we are developing new product lines. |
| The progress of information technology has radically changed business
and distribution systems. In response, S. ISHIMITSU & Co.,Ltd is actively
introducing intranet systems to share information within the Company and to improve
business efficiency. In addition, the Company participates in the inter-enterprise
net-trade system (B to B) established by the Japan Food Service Association, and
has launched other businesses using new IT-related distribution systems. |
