The Virginia Plant of our U.S. subsidiary "ARIAKE U.S.A., Inc." was constructed with our unique complete automation system (CIM system). It was certified in 1990 by the USDA which has the strictest standards in the world. The plant manufactures products with detailed focus on enhanced productivity, and also on quality and hygiene. The standards for hygienic management obtained is employed in the Kyushu Second Plant which was constructed later, and it was certified as compliant with the international quality management standard ISO 9001, and received HACCP certification for its general hygiene management manufacturing process. Only products passing strict quality tests are shipped from the plant.

We also established ARIAKEFARM Co., Ltd. as a company to grow organic vegetables, in order to secure a safe, reliable and stable supply of organic vegetables. In 2008, we acquired a huge farmland about 13 times the size of Tokyo Dome, on the reclaimed land of Isahaya Bay, Nagasaki. Organic vegetables "without agricultural chemicals" and "without chemical fertilizers" are being cultivated there.

Thus the Ariake Group is working to enhance food safety by ensuring a supply of domestic organic vegetables with complete traceability*, in addition to traditionally high safety.
