CEO Message

日頃から格別のご支援ならびにご愛顧を賜り、厚く御礼申し上げます。

当社は2000年の創業以来、「卵殻膜」という天然素材が持つ力と可能性を追求し続けてまいりました。「世界の人々の人生に健康と美しさをもたらす　卵殻膜とバイオテクノロジーで。」という企業理念のもと、独自の研究開発を重ねながら、卵殻膜事業を展開しております。

現在気候変動、資源問題、国際情勢の変化など、企業を取り巻く経営環境はかつてないスピードで変化しています。こうした時代において企業に求められることは、短期的な成長だけでなく、社会や環境と調和した持続的な価値の創造であると私たちは考えています。

卵殻膜は、安全性に優れ、化粧品や健康食品、さらには医療分野への応用も期待される素材です。
この素材の魅力は、創業から25年以上に渡り研究を積み重ねてきた現在においてもなお、新たな発見が生まれ続けていることにあります。研究を深めるたびに未知の可能性が見えてくる――その大きなポテンシャルこそが、当社の成長の源泉です。

私たちは、この素材が持つ価値をさらに解明し、その可能性を世界へ発信していくことが当社の使命であると考えています。
今後は研究開発を一層強化し、エビデンスの蓄積を通じて当社ならではの独自価値を高めるとともに、そこで得られた知見を社会へ還元することで、多くの方々の健康と美に貢献してまいります。
