About UsSince 1917, Calpis Co., Ltd. has continually pursued the goal of bringing to its customers health of body and mind, good taste, happiness and enjoyment in diverse forms. The company is focused on product, ingredient, technology research and development initiatives that react to and produce consumer trends. The focus of Calpis' commitment and expansion into new food ingredients is a result in the shift in consumers' thinking from reactive to proactive, preventative health and wellness. Calpis' innovative microbiological technology is in the forefront of scientific achievement in lactic-acid fermentation processing, and has secured its leading position in the global marketplace. Throughout the company's 89-year history, Calpis has manufactured and sold fermented and cultured milk-based products. As the first company to isolate AmealPeptide®, it was also the first to discover its usefulness in lowering blood pressure. Although Calpis is well known in Asia as a soft drink brand, in recent years its AmealPeptide®-based health drinks and dietary supplements have made their mark on the burgeoning functional foods market in Japan and the U.S. The company's ameal bp™ dietary supplement made from AmealPeptide® is in the forefront of scientific achievement in lactic-acid fermentation processing and was recently introduced in the U.S. market. Calpis will work with determination to set its brand apart from others through corporative activities centered on health and based on our corporative commitment to make positive contributions to society through attractive, trusted products and technologies that promote "Health of Body and Mind." |
