Yonekyu Corporation (www.yonekyu.co.jp), one of Japan’s top ten meat companies, has a striking philosophy: “To create enjoyable dining experiences for consumers, and to enrich their lives through such experiences”. From its head office, beautifully located at the foot of Mount Fuji, this philosophy is spread to the various Yonekyu plants across Japan. Yonekyu Kagayaki Corporation, with two plants in the Saitama prefecture, has been appointed as the group’s core business for manufacturing ham and sausages. We spoke with Mr. Yukihiro Tashiro, General Manager, and Mr. Tsuyoshi Watanabe, Production Unit Manager at Yonekyu Kagayaki Corporation, about how SEALPAC’s recently installed thermoformers contribute to this task.
