Vision of Central Foods Group
Our own group has quickly celebrated its 20th year in business. With the support of our valued partner customers, our crew has grown to 300 members. We have also grown and developed together with our crew thanks to the cooperation of our suppliers and producers, who are indispensable to our cuisine.
Our new vision for the next stage is to make the children of the world happy through the power of food. We have also decided where we want to go next: to connect with one million people through “the power of food”. We have decided where we want to go. It is also our determination to keep changing in order not to change.
We want to change the power of food into the power of society. The number of customers = value. Do our products and services have value in exchange for our customers and society? And how much positive influence do they have? I believe that a company that is sought after by many people is a company with influence. However, we are still a developing company. We have a long way to learn. However, the vision we are aiming for is waiting for us ahead.
Energize Okayama! School lunches for developing countries! Energize children with natural school lunches! Cultivate human resources with a global perspective! We will play a role in connecting people from Okayama to the world. And we will connect to the next theme, “Leading People.
