Relaunching with purpose:

A new agreement with the newly established MORITECH Corporation

To mark a new chapter in our Japanese operations, JEROS formally signed a cooperation agreement with MORITECH Corporation – a newly established company launched by our long-time partner, Fumihiko Mura Morimura.

MORITECH Corporation was founded as part of a strategic relaunch, evolving from a former business with a broader distribution profile to a specialized company focused exclusively on JEROS utensil washers, hygiene systems, and compatible cleaning agents. The new name and corporate structure clearly reflect this sharpened focus and a long-term commitment to serving the Japanese hygiene market.

Headquartered in Osaka/Kobe, MORITECH Corporation now operates as a dedicated JEROS partner, housing not only its administrative offices but also a well-equipped testing facility and a warehouse stocked with JEROS machines and spare parts.

Customers can even trial-wash their equipment on-site, ensuring confidence in performance before purchase.

That's where JEROS comes in:

Our hygiene solutions – especially the JEROS ACE – are designed to clean ISHIDA's weighing bowls and utensils efficiently and safely.

During the visit, Evita Rosdahl, CEO and owner of JEROS, met with Mr. Tomoki Matsumoto, ISHIDA's representative and a long-standing professional ally of JEROS in the Japanese market. The meeting provided an opportunity to:

Share insights into the evolving hygiene needs of Japanese food producers.

A sweet partnership with MARUNAKA Confectionery

In Kobe, we visited MARUNAKA Confectionery Co., Ltd., Japan's leading producer of Belgian waffles, donuts, and a wide variety of baked goods distributed nationwide.

Under the leadership of President Daisuke Nakayama, MARUNAKA Confectionery has built a reputation for high-volume production and consistently high quality.

MARUNAKA Confectionery has integrated four JEROS 9130 utensil washers – spread across 3 different production sites – into their daily operations to maintain stringent hygiene standards in such a dynamic environment. These machines support food safety by ensuring that production tools and equipment are cleaned thoroughly and efficiently.

Walking through the factory and witnessing the scale and precision of MARUNAKA's operations was a powerful reminder of our value – not just through machines, but through long-term, responsive partnerships.
