Calbee, Inc.

Calbee is a Japanese food manufacturer specializing in potato snacks, cereal products and other packaged foods. Founded in 1949, the company operates manufacturing and sales activities in Japan and several international markets, including North America, Greater China, the United Kingdom and Indonesia. Its major product categories include potato chips, vegetable-based snacks and the Frugra cereal brand. Calbee’s environmental footprint is closely connected to agricultural sourcing, manufacturing energy, food loss and flexible plastic packaging. The company has pursued lighter packaging, resource-efficiency measures and changes to printing and packaging materials. During supply constraints affecting petroleum-derived inks and plastic materials, Calbee used simplified packaging designs for selected products, demonstrating how material shortages can accelerate packaging adaptation. Calbee is listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
