Corporate Philosophy
We constantly pursuit beauty and health, but we also adopt the lifestyle changes.
Since its founding, Hoshi Corporation main business lines are Sales of Raw Materials, Planning and Sales of Containers and Packaging Materials, Sales and contract manufacturing of Cosmetics and Health foods, but we also accomplished as a customer-oriented OEM manufacturer with continue steady growth.
Our principle hasn’t changed since our company was established and we will continuously implement stand as a “proposal-based” company.
Japan currently has rapidly aging population and the desire for constant improvement for beauty and health also increased, but at the same time, we live in an age where ”the demand for beauty and well-being” has become more individualist and diverse.
In order to adjust to the current market needs, we are required to develop new product lines.
We at Hoshi Corporation will keep adapting its business environment to further contribute development on the cosmetic industry. Each and every employee will maintain the “specialist” mind and motivation and focus on the future for new challlenges.
In the field of cosmetics and supplements, we continue to pursue the development of higher quality products and strong structure by upgrading the business system as a trading company.
