SCFoods, Sumitomo

About us

Sumitomo Europe has been active in international trade, business development, and investment for more than a century, connecting producers and customers across global markets. In the food sector, its activities go beyond traditional trading and include investments and participation throughout the supply chain, providing practical insight into sourcing, processing, and market development.

The food ingredients business supplies a broad range of ingredients to food and beverage manufacturers worldwide, with a particular focus on Japanese-origin products. Through long-standing relationships in Japan and other producing regions, it provides reliable access to high-quality raw materials backed by strong sourcing and quality management capabilities.

A key area of expertise is specialty citrus ingredients, particularly yuzu. Unlike many ingredient suppliers, the business is involved not only in the marketing and distribution of yuzu products but also in upstream processing activities in Japan. Through its own yuzu processing operations, it offers direct access to a wide range of ingredients, including juice, peel, puree, and essential oil, ensuring consistent quality, traceability, and long-term supply stability.

Working closely with customers, the organization supports the development of applications across beverages, confectionery, dairy, bakery, and savoury foods. By combining global market reach with direct involvement in sourcing and processing, it provides practical, reliable ingredient solutions tailored to the needs of international food and beverage manufacturers.
