HACHI-BAN CO.,LTD.【JP:9950】Stock Price

Hachiban Corporation operates three main business segments: foodservice, wholesale distribution, and international operations. In the foodservice segment, the company manages the Hachiban Ramen franchise chain headquarters and operates restaurants. It also handles wholesale distribution of food products for commercial use and manufactures and sells food products.

In the wholesale distribution segment, the company imports and exports food ingredients domestically. This allows the company to supply diverse food products to markets both in Japan and abroad. In particular, wholesale distribution of commercial food products plays an important role in the restaurant and food industry.

In international operations, the company is active in Thailand and Vietnam. HACHIBAN TRADING (THAILAND) CO.,LTD. handles the import and export of food ingredients in Thailand. Additionally, DOUBLE FLOWERING CAMELLIA CO.,LTD. manufactures and sells soups and extracts in Thailand.

Furthermore, HACHIBAN BELL TRADING (VIETNAM) CO.,LTD. operates food ingredient (seasoning) import and wholesale business in Vietnam. Through these operations, Hachiban strengthens its presence in the Asian market and meets regional needs.

Hachiban Corporation pursues innovation in the food service industry under the concept of "Tasty Innovation"—a system industry that networks the flavors of food culture. The company's core strategy centers on a franchise system that delivers genuinely delicious food at affordable prices consistently across all locations. Hachiban aims to become a trusted company both domestically and internationally by realizing the happiness of local communities and employees.

Hachiban's growth strategy is built on two pillars: chain store management and supply chain management. In the ramen division, the company is renovating existing stores, introducing drive-through services, and enhancing customer service. In the Japanese cuisine division, it is developing small, community-focused locations and building new business models.

In supply chain management, Hachiban is expanding the development and sales of high-value-added products in its wholesale business and strengthening its proprietary online shopping site, "Hachiban eSHOP." At its own manufacturing facilities, the company is improving productivity and reinforcing food safety, with efforts focused on safe food production based on ISO 22000:2018.

For international operations, Hachiban is expanding business through area license agreements in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, with an eye toward broader Southeast Asian expansion. The company is also strengthening production systems and developing new products in ramen soup manufacturing and sales to expand its business foundation.

In response to the challenging operating environment of the food service industry, Hachiban is prioritizing organizational reform and talent development while establishing a workplace where employees find fulfillment. These efforts ensure reliable business operations that meet customer expectations and drive increases in corporate value.
