Manufacturing system
Policy / system
- Quality policy
- It is expected that customers’ interest in health will continue to grow. In order to meet such demands, we have established the following quality policies.
1. Make products from the customer’s point of view with sincerity.
2. Work is constantly being improved to eliminate waste.
3. Each employee should always work with an awareness of quality improvement and production efficiency improvement.
- Collaboration with R & D
- At the Fine Bioscience Research Center (FBRC) on the premises of Osaka University, we are constantly searching for new functional materials that will be the basis of new products. The results obtained there are passed through commercialization research, safety tests, stability tests, etc., and then prototypes and tests are repeated at our factory, and are utilized in the manufacture of products. Through this industry-academia collaboration system, we provide genuine health foods that can contribute to extending healthy life expectancy.
- To an open factory
- A tour passage has been set up on the first and second floors of the Harima Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (HAMTC), which is the core factory, and some production processes are open to the public. We are planning an event where we will explain in an easy-to-understand manner to our customers and customers how our products are made, and to sample and sell them directly. In addition, we will actively hold tours of our factory for children and would like to contribute to the community through such educational activities.
Quality control
We have established a quality assurance system to pursue food safety.
Dietary supplements GMP, ISO9001, organic JAS
Our factory guarantees the quality and safety of final products based on dietary supplements GMP, ISO9001 and organic JAS.

Manufacuturing flow
- STEP 1Accepting raw materials
Record information on incoming raw materials and confirm that they meet acceptance criteria. Abnormal raw materials are excluded here.
- STEP 2Weighing
Weigh the raw materials used for tableting and granule processing. We will double check to make sure there are no mistakes.
- STEP 3Granulation
It hardens powders and fine particles into granules. With the introduction of a new model, we are working to improve the physical properties of granules and shorten the granulation time.
- STEP 4Mixing
Mix multiple powders with different specific densities using a mixing inversion machine. With the introduction of new models, we are increasing the variety of finishes.
- STEP 5Tableting
We will make tablets according to the customer’s request, such as round shape, triangle shape, unique heart shape, etc. of various sizes.
- STEP 6Filling
We have installed a high-speed sachet machine and are operating with a production capacity 13 times that of conventional products. It is a fully automated line that does not touch people.
- STEP 7Packing
By installing a boxing automation robot instead of the conventional manual work, we are shortening the time and improving the production capacity.
- STEP 8Shipping
We will make a final check of the product, such as damage to the packaging, and ship it to the customer. And that information is recorded and stored.
