Half a century on the Sea of Okhotsk — the philosophy, the profile and the full history.
Hokkaido is surrounded by sea on all sides. Among its ports, Monbetsu — facing the resource-rich Sea of Okhotsk — is one of the prefecture's leading fishing cities, at once a coastal fishing base and an important gateway for overseas trade.
Marukaichi Suisan was founded here in 1972. For nearly half a century we have worked to change what people picture when they hear "seafood processing plant", and to contribute to the growth of this city. We send the flavours of the Okhotsk — fish and shellfish landed in local waters, processed goods, live crab imported through our partners in Russia — to tables across Japan and, increasingly, the world.
As consumer attention to food safety grew, we strengthened our hygiene facilities and quality control without compromise. In 2000, ahead of our peers, we adopted HACCP. With globalisation in view we have added new plants and large-scale equipment almost every year. That scale is what lets us answer a wide range of customer requirements quickly.
We intend to use what we have built as a jumping-off board, grow further over the next half century, and carry the smiles the sea's bounty creates into the future.
Management philosophy — “From the bounty of the sea to the happiness of people.”
Management policy — Management means responding to the changes of the age and aiming for lasting growth. We bring together the morale and energy of our people and grow together.
