Company Information | Find the sweets of your dreams!

Greetings

Ginbis was founded in 1930 as a small confectionery manufacturer in Kinshicho. Since then, with a spirit of independence and self-respect, we have actively contributed to society and engaged in a wide range of international activities. We have continued our long history, producing many hit products and working hard to develop the confectionery industry. Our desire to continue making confectionery despite the devastating damage caused by World War II and the repeated waves of drastic changes in the economic environment has not changed at all since our founding. That is our corporate philosophy: "Dreams in confectionery!" It goes without saying that food is essential to people, but we believe that confectionery is a symbol of a rich life that delights, heals, and cheers people up. We want to deliver dreams to people through confectionery. We want to contribute to world peace through confectionery. Such a desire supports the management of Ginbis. Globalization is progressing more and more in earnest in modern times. We want everyone, not just in Japan but all over the world, to eat delicious confectionery. We want to deliver dreams. In order to continue to realize that desire, we still create confectionery with the utmost sincerity. We strive to create and popularize products that are accepted worldwide, and we intend to continue to maintain a management stance that stays ahead of the times.

President & CEO, Shuji Miyamoto
