President & CEO Tsuneyuki Minami

Nantsune’s founder, Tsunejiro Minami, established Nanjo Cutlery Works in 1925 and changed its name to Nantsune Works in 1929, manufacturing and selling the world’s first thinly sliced raw meat slicer. Since 1925, we have been consistently focusing and creating value together with food processing manufacturers in the food processing industry.

Currently, we have renewed our management philosophy with “To eliminate the value of food ingredients border.” as our vision, and “To contribute to food production processes.” as our mission. Not limited to manufacturing and selling food processing equipment, we also provide a wide range of solutions for our customers, from planning and proposing meal products to designing food factory layouts based on customer’s needs.

Furthermore, we have opened MEAT DELI Nicklaus’, a next-generation butcher shop model in Osaka Fukushima, featuring charcuterie-centered processed meat products sales with an eat-in space and EC store, and we continue our activities as a support team for local butcher shops.

In the spirit of repaying one’s gratitude, we will continue to meet the challenge as a company in food processing that makes the impossible possible, for our customers and for society.
