- Horiifoodservice Co., Ltd. (TSE: 3077) operates as a food wholesaler in Japan, primarily supplying restaurants, hotels, educational facilities, healthcare institutions, and corporate cafeterias with a diverse range of products including fresh seafood, meat, vegetables, frozen foods, and processed goods; it also provides delivery services, menu planning support, and operational consulting for foodservice businesses. The company, founded in 1953 and headquartered in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, serves customers across Japan with a focus on the Kansai region while expanding its network nationwide through regional distribution centers. Its core offerings encompass branded private-label products such as Horiifresh seafood items and Horii Select processed foods, alongside value-added services like inventory management systems and sustainable sourcing initiatives for eco-friendly ingredients.
In recent developments, Horiifoodservice expanded its operations in 2024 through a strategic partnership with local fisheries cooperatives to enhance fresh seafood supply chains amid rising demand for sustainable products. The company also launched a new line of plant-based and health-oriented meal kits targeted at corporate wellness programs in early 2025, reflecting a shift toward healthier and environmentally conscious foodservice solutions. Additionally, it completed a minor acquisition of a regional beverage distributor in western Japan during late 2024 to bolster its non-food offerings, including wines, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages.
