Breaking into new markets, from upmarket ham/delicatessen products and raw ingredient-type frozen foods to sauces and sweets
Saveur products (commercial market)
Syunsetsu products (general consumermarket)
Business development is taking place centered on two companies: Saveur SS Inc., which is based in Hokkaido and well-regarded nationally for its high quality brands, and Sagami Ham, which has a strong local market presence in Kanagawa and the surrounding region of Southern Kanto.
Saveur SS Inc. uses its carefully-picked selection of ham and delicatessen products, which command 30% of the domestic uncured ham market, as well as its fresh, high-quality raw-type frozen foods, as the core vehicle for its development of general consumer and commercial business. Furthermore, Saveur SS Inc. is quickly working to bring forward its next lineup of core products that will include original cooking sauces, Hokkaido sweets and much more, opening up new business directions to explore in contemporary cuisine and finding a large base of customers, including supermarkets, hotels, restaurant chains and school cafeterias nationwide.
Meanwhile, Sagami Ham is using its core ham and sausage products, produced using an advanced "production technology," to develop business focused on securing the leading market share in Kanagawa. It has a product lineup, including the "Bologna Series" and "Honrei Series," which offers a wealth of variety to suit a broad array of customer needs. Business expansion through the use of group synergy, such as promoting the uncured ham and sauces of Saveur SS Inc. in the Kanto market, is also being actively pursued.

Drinking water containing added "sea minerals" – safe, delicious and distinctive
Water cooler andOne-Way Bottle
“AW-Water” is a unique product that contains a careful balance of reverse osmosis-treated high-purity water combined with minerals derived from seawater. AW-Water is manufactured at a dedicated plant that ensures rigorous quality control and is distributed by delivery service to homes and offices.
In recent years Air Water has stepped up the pace of its business development nationwide, thanks to such factors as the adoption of the "One-Way Bottle Strategy" for recycling containers instead of collecting them and business expansion in Shikoku resulting from the development of Nihonkaisui's Sanuki Plant as a production facility. And by capitalizing on the fact that all plants, minerals, water coolers and other operational resources relating to Air Water's drinking water business are procured within the Air Water Group, Air Water has been growing its market position.

< Agriculture >
Air Water's distinctive "agriculture of the future", born from optimal cultivation locations and high-tech greenhouses
Azumino Farm
In 2009 in Hokkaido, Air Water began the production and sale of fresh tomatoes and leafy vegetables grown in the large-scale greenhouse – one of the largest in Hokkaido – which it acquired in Chitose City. In April 2011, Air Water began full-scale operations at its second tomato production facility, which is located in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture. At both of these facilities, compound environmental control systems automatically regulate CO2 gas concentration, temperature, sunlight, irrigation and other environmental factors so that they suit the cultivation of vegetables, allowing for high quality, safe vegetables to be grown and supplied year-round. For the future, Air Water seeks to develop its own unique "Air Water-type agriculture" that utilizes the diverse operational resources of the Air Water Group to integrate everything from materials, seeds and seedling procurement to agricultural production, sales and processing.
