Creating a prosperous future around food, from production to consumption, together with our customers
―SC Foods―

SC Foods is a group of food professionals proudly supplying safe, secure and high quality food products. We develop and trade livestock and food products from around the world. Our activity includes product development, production site selection, procurement, manufacturing management, and coordination of logistics and distribution. 

We define our core competence as the following: “commitment to food safety and security”, “enthusiasm to product development”, “global network of Sumitomo Corporation”, and “integration of food supply chain”. We interactively connect consumers and producers to propose to our customers new ways of processing, delivering and presentation of food.

Our product lineup ranges from Turkish processed vegetables to Italian fruit juice, Peruvian seafood to American beef and pork. As an exclusive supply agency of Iowa Premium in Japan, we import black angus Iowa Premium Beef to a wide range of customers from mass retailers to restaurants. We also import Australian rice to meet the growing demand of the Japanese retail sector.

As the domestic market for primary processed meat products is expected to expand against a backdrop of chronic labor shortages, we opened the Kawasaki Shiohama Process Center in December 2018 in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. This Process Center achieves high-speed automation through the use of state-of-the-art processing lines for meat and seasoning that are operated under comprehensive safety management. The center operates 365 days a year, making this system capable of accommodating shifts in demand at volume retailers, restaurants and home cooking industries in and around the Tokyo metropolitan area (through the timely processing of refrigerated and frozen meat).
