Japan's Mitsui invests $36.4m to expand SATS food solutions in Asia

The investment will give Mitsui a 15% stake in SATS’ food solutions businesses.

SATS and Mitsui have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on developing their respective food and retail solutions businesses.

Under the MoU, Mitsui will invest about $36.4m to boost the food solutions business of SATS through its network of prominent food retailers, manufacturers, and F&B players in key Asian markets.

With this investment, Mitsui will hold a 15% stake in a partnership with interests in SATS Food Solutions India, SATS Food Solutions Thailand, SATS Tianjin, and Country Foods.

SATS TFK, a SATS unit, also works with a Mitsui Group subsidiary to supply food components to major Japanese retail channels like St. Coursair, Kinokuniya, and JR East.

By Q1 2025, the partners plan to supply frozen meals to Muji Japan.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
