YAMATO HELPS TO SECURE POTATO SUPPLY FOR CALBEE
Summary :
YAMATO helps one of the world’s largest snack companies by forming a dedicated team tasked to handle a quota commodity.
Backstory :
Calbee Inc is a major Japanese snack food maker. It was founded on April 30, 1949. It launched operations at a new plant in the USA for making its mainstay products "Kappa Ebisen" shrimp chips and "Saya-endo" snow pea crisps on 2007. Its snacks are hugely popular in Asia, and are well known in the USA. The company was looking for a shipping service that could help them secure potatoes for another line of popular snack foods.
Solution :
Because of logistics and quota on potatoes exported to Japan, YAMATO put together a team dedicated to keeping Calbee supplied with potatoes when the domestic crop in Japan becomes limited. The YAMATO team provided management for proper routing, lead time and handling in Japan. A “single window” was set up for solving any problems or issues.
Results :
YAMATO helps Calbee focus on growth of its product line, by maintaining a supply of potatoes (via ocean export) from the USA for their snacks in Japan and abroad.
