TOKYO, Jun 25 (Pulse News Wire) – Ukai CO.,LTD. (7621.T) announced on June 25 that it has decided to establish a new tofu factory in Tokyo, Hachiouji Shi.
The decision was made during a board meeting held on the same day. The purpose of the new facility is to address the aging of existing factories while maintaining and enhancing the foundation of domestic soybean-based tofu production. It also aims to support business growth and further improve product quality and safety. The new factory will incorporate advanced hygiene management systems and production equipment to ensure stable supply of safer tofu products. Additionally, the company plans to automate and standardize some production processes to boost efficiency and enhance quality.
Located on approximately 766 square meters of land, the new factory is expected to cover around 925 square meters and cost ¥740 million. Operations are scheduled to begin in autumn 2027. However, the future handling of existing facilities remains undecided at this stage. In the near term, the investment's impact on the current fiscal year (ending March 2027) is anticipated to be minor. The company will promptly disclose any significant developments related to this project.
