Since November, H&J's new factory near Tokyo has been in the trial operation phase, with full-scale production expected to begin in the near future. Equipped with advanced production and testing facilities compliant with ISO22716 and ISO9001, it marks a key milestone in improving our production capacity and efficiency.

Once the new factory is fully operational, H&J's overall production capacity will increase by approximately 30%. This will allow us to build a more efficient and stable supply system — including innovative products in cosmetics and health-related categories — and ensure reliable delivery to our customers.

"The new factory is a key base for responding to customer needs and optimizing production capacity," said the President. "Once trial operations are complete, we will be able to respond more precisely to market demand and deliver even greater value to our customers."

H&J remains committed to the pursuit of high quality and customer-centric values, and will continue to be a trusted partner for customers around the world.
