Vox Trading Co., Ltd. CEO Mr. Akio Komura

While VOX is a young company that has been in business for over twenty years, our roots lie in Yuasa Takenosuke Shoten which was founded more than a century ago.

Yuasa Takenosuke Shoten was founded in Kobe as a food trading company dealing primarily in flour and sugar, and flourished during the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras by embracing a spirit of taking on challenges to reflect the times and maintaining its mission to serve society.

VOX has inherited that passion from its predecessor and continued to grow as a group of food professionals with longstanding experience and advanced expertise that anticipates the needs of the times.

We strive to contribute to the world with food, through providing Japanese standard food ingredients that are Safe & Reliable, Premium Quality and Optimal. This is possible with our accumulated knowledge gained through our long experience in practicing our unique integrated supply chain we call Food Engineering. This supply chain ensures one consistent management from producing to supplying of our quality food ingredients.

“VOX” is Latin for “Voice”.

Our company name reflects our independent spirit, which advocates “listening to the voices of our shareholders, business partners, employees and other stakeholders to plan, to accomplish, and to find the ways to return our success.”

Each of our employees embrace this passion and strive to put into practice our slogan: Let’s Do it VOX!
