Japan-based Chubu Shiryo will introduce a new operating unit structure across all seven of its livestock feed plants beginning in April, according to a report.
Within these units, it is creating dedicated production and sales departments to speed up manufacturing and sales decisions and strengthen on-the-ground responsiveness.
The company also announced personnel changes aligned with the new structure, including reassigning one director to director and adviser and adjusting executive officer responsibilities. Numerous plant heads and departmental managers will be reassigned or promoted to lead the new operating, production and sales units, signaling a broad reorganization aimed at improving operational efficiency and governance across its nationwide plant network.
According to Feed Strategy’s Top Feed Companies database, Chubu Shiryo produces animal feed for livestock production and fisheries in Japan. In addition to its feed operations, Chubu Shiryo’s subsidiaries include pet food manufacturer Smack Inc., livestock equipment and fertilizer manufacturer Chubu Ecotec Co. Ltd. and insurance company Daikoku Co. Ltd. In 2024, the company produced 3.02 million metric tons of feed.
