Safety and quality Initiatives

Our group has three main food processing bases, the Aomori factories, Okamura Trading Myanmar, and the Vietnam factory (OEM). Even though products are made overseas, we produce our foods to be "Made by Japan" with Japanese-style methods, improvement plans, and great care of work.

Aomori Factories

More than a dozen plant managers play a central role in ensuring the safety and security of the plant. In addition, a quality control office controls product quality independently of the production department.
Myanmar factory

Japanese and local factory managers play a central role in being committed to the safety and security of our factories. They always communicate with members of quality control units in Japan through online meetings or business travel.
Vietnam factory (OEM)

We founded the Vietnam company on the grounds of an OEM factory. This company is a subsidiary of group. Employees including some members from Japan are committed to the safety and security of Okamura Trading Vietnam. Also, members in Japan check the results about quality.

Approach for quality assurance

Received certifications about quality

We make an effort to obtain every certification and promote an assurance system that can provide safer food products.

Safety and Security at our factory in Myanmar

In 2017, we established the Myanmar factory that is a subsidiary of our group in the Thilawa Special Economic Zone. We started processing sushi toppings(Salmon Trout) in December of 2018. We have expanded production since then.
The device for microorganism testing was introduced into this factory. Products are brought into the laboratory and undergo a bacteria test. Then, we ship products that meet the quality testing standards.
Also, we have introduced state-of-the-art equipment. For example, a water treatment system that inhibits the growth of fungus and filters out impurities, the Sanistar water electrolysis system works to limit the chlorine odor, setting at 17 degrees in an airtight clean room because of high temperature and humidity environment, constant supply of chiller water maintained at an effective temperature for quality preservation, rapid-freezing apparatus and door with touch sensor that prevents contamination.

Technology of our factory in Myanmar

Water electrolysis system of sanistar

We introduce water electrolysis system called sanistar in Myanmar factory. Many food factory use sodium hypochlorite solution. However, this this sanistar works to limit the chlorine odor and damage to foods.
Always set at 17 degrees in clean room

We set at 17 degrees in airtight clean room because of high temperature and humidity environment. All employees start working after sterilizing their hands, apron and all equipments, and they keep clean by disinfection every hour.
Chiller water system

In order to maintain product quality, we have installed a cold water production system so that cold water can be supplied to each processing room. This allows us to process products while maintaining a constant low temperature and high quality.
Rapid-freezing apparatus

The low temperature cold air freezes the product rapidly.
door with touch sensor

To minimize risk of contamination, every processing room has touch sensor doors.
