Added Value
A wide range of retail support from
private brand product development to
sales promotion planning
The key concept of Marudai Naganuma’s growth strategy is “coexistence.”
We would like to continue to grow with our stakeholders, including consumers, retailers, distributors and the local fisheries industry to cultivate a new kind of food culture, while living together with our precious natural environment in the Sanriku region and on the Oshika Peninsula.
Furthermore, we are committed to being sensitive to social trends in order to continue creating more attractive products.
With this vision in mind, we have been providing a full range of retail support, including private brand (PB) product development, sales promotion planning and streamlining of operations.
Solid business support built on our strengths
and achievements with a dual base
One of our core strengths is having two bases: our production base on the Oshika Peninsula, the treasure trove of marine resources, and the sales base in Tokyo, home to the largest market in the country. With our expertise in both production and sales, we can provide solid business support in maximizing product values.
We can also offer ideas and guidance to assist our clients in responding to the latest culinary needs. This is based on our experience of dealing with over 2,500 retailers nationwide and regularly achieving high-ranking sales data in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Joint development and commissioned
production for PB products
We have worked on various joint PB product development projects with companies across the country, but mainly in the Tokyo and Osaka metropolitan areas. Through this experience, we can offer strategic proposals to promote products from various perspectives. Our expertise includes data analysis of consumer needs and knowledge of cooking methods of food items specifically practiced in produce areas.
As for commissioned production, another strength of ours is that we have well-established distribution channels through years of business conducted in different locations. We can offer a range of comprehensive services, covering raw material procurement, manufacturing and delivery to retailers.
Online ordering system for
small-lot and
high-frequency trading
The ideal store for most consumers is one where they can choose from many kinds of fresh seafood whenever they go shopping. Therefore, if retailers are able to order and purchase products of only a necessary volume at one time, it will help them to strategize and attract more customers, while also helping to reduce food waste.
Our company employs an online ordering system in order to reduce the time spent dealing with orders in-stores. We also work to optimize delivery operations that will ensure rapid and accurate product distribution.
A range of products for a
variety of sales
channels and businesses
In addition to our key products, oysters and mekabu landed from the sea along the Oshika Peninsula, we also carry a wide variety of Sanriku seafood, including saury, silver salmon, bonito, mackerel, flounder, wakame seaweed, akamoku seaweed, kelp, sea squirts and sea cucumber.
Due to the region’s abundance of fisheries resources and our advanced processing technology, we are able to offer flexible services to various sales channels and businesses. These include both physical and online shops, restaurants and school lunch operations. We are also planning to expand our business overseas in the future.
