Cost performance
Reason for high customer satisfaction: High quality × low cost Sumioka Foods Group does not have a “sales” team
Customer support is provided by our staff in charge of planning and development who are familiar with OEM development of health foods (supplements). With our knowledge and a track record of development and manufacturing, we will plan products in a faster and more specific manner. We are able to handle small lots and develop low-cost products by allocating the labor costs for sales that would otherwise be incurred, as well as the time and expenses incurred due to loss of information transmission and mistakes, to the improvement of product safety and quality.
Achieve high quality × reasonable price
through cost management
A high-quality production system is realized by strict hygiene/quality control and original product planning, which also realizes the overwhelming cost of quality.
This is why our customers are satisfied with our high-quality and low-cost OEM development.

IR measurement (infrared spectroscopy)
This machine irradiates a substance with infrared rays to analyze its ingredients and measure its characteristics. It can be also used to investigate whether the raw materials to be used are correct and what the cause of foreign matter contamination is.

Disintegration tester
This tester checks how long it takes for a tablet to disintegrate in the body. Unlike ordinary food products, it is mandatory that health foods such as capsules and tablets disintegrate in the body. This tester is necessary for thorough management in compliance with the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act and the Health Food GMP guidelines.

Laser diffraction particle size analyzer LMS-3000
This device measures whether the granularity (particle size) of a powder raw material is uniform.
For example, since it is very important that the particles of green juice be fine and uniform for smoothness to the throat, its particle size is confirmed numerically.
