MAR CO.,LTD.
President
Shozo Matsuda

Since the establishment in 1989, MAR has consistently imported marine products from overseas, and has made it as our main business to supply such imported products to the domestic market. From the very beginning, our first prerequisite has been the Freshness of the products and, adds to this, we have made "Safety" and "Reliance"as our indispensable condition. Over the last 20 years, though little by little, our business scale has been steadily developed and to which I would like to express my sincere thanks to our customers as this might be the gift from our customers who kindly accepted MAR's policy.

Not only the taste, but from the "Safety" and "Reliability" point of view, we have concentrated to import natural origin products from the clean sea or clean fishing ground by avoiding, at our best, to import products made of farmed fish. Like Red Shrimps from Canada, North Atlantic Ocean, and Russia, Crabs from Canada and Alaska, and Mackerels from Norway and Canada, we have chosen in either case to import products from the clean sea which are far from worries of pollutions and contaminations. Also, we send Technicians to every plant from Japan to manage the through processing lines in order to secure Freshness, Safety, and Reliance. From the beginning of 2008, we started to import FAVORITA brand Bananas, certified as GLOBAL GAP, from exceedingly outstanding shipper REYBANPAC and consistently growing our sales in Japan.

According to the needs of the present age from the primary processed products to the final products, MAR started to send those primary processed products to China and Thailand for further processing and to market not only in Japan, but to export such further processed products to U.S.A and Europe. We believe the success of these new businesses might be derived from the strict choice of overseas plant and setting of resident technicians at all times to secure the consistent level up of　product qualities.

MAR believes in “Company grows by the hands of the employees”. MAR wishes to supply good services to MAR's customers by making effort at our own tasks and responsibilities by executive officers and staffs. At the same time, MAR wishes to grow on the base of united man powers of progressed self consciousness, of tasks and responsibilities by all employees, and also it reflects to the happiness of all employees.
