Message from the President

Aiming to be the most trusted and indispensable
confectionery wholesaler in our region.

Shinichi Taniguchi, President and CEO

Since its founding in 1946, Chuyo Co., Ltd. has operated as a confectionery wholesaler in northern Kyushu for approximately 80 years, growing together with the communities we serve.

As a member of the JCC Group, which comprises seven confectionery trading companies across Japan, we develop and introduce private label products optimized for the Kyushu market while making full use of the group's nationwide network and market intelligence. Combining broad-area collaboration with a strong local presence is what defines our strength.

The collaborative warehousing and delivery operations launched in October 2023 at the Seika Foods Chikushino Logistics Center have produced steady results, strengthening our supply capabilities and improving operational efficiency. As a result, the number of new business partners has grown steadily, expanding our role as a regional distributor.

In Fukuoka, urban development continues to advance, centered on Fukuoka City, and inbound demand keeps expanding. Together with more active consumer spending, the confectionery market is entering a new phase of growth.

Seeing this change as an opportunity, we will continue to develop products that delight customers both in Japan and overseas. With proposal capabilities and agility rooted in the characteristics of our region, we will move forward as the most trusted and indispensable confectionery wholesaler in our market.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and guidance.
