Monday 20. December 2010 - ONE Bio, Corp. ("ONE" or the "Company") (OTCBB: ONBI), an innovative company utilizing green process manufacturing to produce raw chemicals and herbal extracts, natural and health supplements and organic products, announced that its Organic Products ("OP") division initiated further expansion into Japan through the addition of new distributors and an expanded lineup of organic bamboo and vegetable products into Kobe Bussan Supermarkets, one of the largest supermarket chains in Japan.
ONE has gained market share in Japan over the past few months fueled by strong consumer demand for its products which resulted from high quality standards utilized by the Company in its organic vegetable selection and manufacturing process. ONE’s organic vegetable products are JAS Gold (“Japanese Agricultural Standard”) certified, which is the highest certification for organic products in Japan. Kobe Bussan Supermarkets, which carries private label products manufactured by the Company under the “KOBE” name, has agreed to increase distribution for the Company’s products through its stores and expand the product line from 8 to 20 skus.
“Japan has over the past few years become our strongest international market. Japanese consumers are quality driven and health conscientious. Their acceptance and demand for our products is a strong endorsement to our commitment to quality. We appreciate the confidence Kobe and other Japanese retailers have entrusted in us,” stated ONE’s CEO Marius Silvasan. “The global organic food market grew by 9.7% in 2009 to reach $60 billion usd. It is anticipated that by 2014, this market could reach $96.6 billion usd in value, an increase of 60.7% from 2009*. We are committed to aggressively add distribution channels to take advantage of this rapidly growing global demand,” added Silvasan.
