Taiko is a food service distributor that pursues the essence of "food" and "abundance" as its core philosophy, contributing to the happiness of customers and employees and the realization of a prosperous society. The company expands its business by selling food service ingredients and providing information through its external sales operations and Amica business.

The company's medium-term management strategy is built on three pillars: "human resource development," "sales channel expansion," and "profitability improvement." In human resource development, the company cultivates personnel who can advise customers as food professionals, while advancing standardization and efficiency in operations. It also prioritizes strengthening compliance-based management.

For sales channel expansion, the company pursues new customer acquisition in external sales operations and new store openings in the Amica business. It particularly aims to establish market dominance in the Tokai region and expand its sales area. This strengthens the company's regional presence.

To improve profitability, the company strengthens sales of private brand products and enriches its product lineup by leveraging synergies among external sales operations, the Amica business, and aquatic products operations. It also aims to control selling, general, and administrative expenses through operational efficiency improvements and logistics optimization.

Taiko prioritizes its operating profit margin on sales and targets achievement of 3% or higher. Through this metric, the company pursues continuous improvement in profitability and applies it to management decisions. The company commits to enhancing corporate value and fulfilling its social responsibility to stakeholders.
