[Business description]
[Manufacturing and Sales of freshness retention material for greengrocery and food] 
Our company proposes films and sheets for food packaging. We have consistently regarded freshness retention as important and engaged in product development for 40 years since our establishment, which is based on our desire to provide our customers with secure and safety greengrocery and to contribute the global environmental protection by reducing disposal loss from our products.
As for freshness retention packaging, in particular, our own film product "Aura Pack" has high reputation. It is adopted to various wrapping scenes such as export and domestic distribution of greengrocery as well as individual packaging at retailers. 
We will make the most of cutting-edge technologies to develop and provide unique products of high-function film and reasonable price, continuing to propose new products matching new era.


[Strength of products/technologies]
High-freshness keeping films "Aura Pack", one of our company's original products, preserves freshness of  greengrocery by activating water molecule inside it.
Aura Pack features 3 effects.
Besides restricting water transpiration, it has excellent functions such as restraint of excessive breathing to retain carbohydrates energy and antifogging effect to prevent rotting by drop of water.
Freshness retention duration depends on  greengrocery kinds, but 
We could provide our customers with various merit by adjusting shipping and sales dates as well as preserving flavors . One of our storage test shows that our Aura Pack package kept fruit fresh for more than 3 months in contrast with for only about 2 weeks in conventional way,  although the period of freshness retention depends on kinds of greengrocery.




[Representative's message]
Our company has engaged in sales and planning of mainly wrapping and advertising materials since it was established in 1970. After the split-up of our company in 2005, we have been making a effort of in-house development and finally launched Aura Pack, high-freshness retention films. Freshness retention function of the product enables us to expand distribution area and period and to reduce disposal loss. We hope to expand our business to lead customers to more merits, including wrapping for export of greengrocery.
