The Gifu factory has been in operation since 2014, and renovations and expansions will be carried out with the aim of improving the quality and production capacity of frozen products.
The expansion is driven by increased demand due to the growing domestic ice cream market, as well as the expansion of export channels for products with high demand overseas. The investment is approximately 14 billion yen. The expansion is expected to increase production capacity by about 30% compared to the current level. Operations are scheduled to begin in March 2026.
