Fukuroda Foods Company Launches New Product Designed For Smooth Body Cleaning

Fukuroda Foods Company has now ventured into the production and development of products designed for body care with a multi-purpose product designed for cleaning the body and face. 

In the recent past, the company has been on a campaign to increase its product portfolio in their Amazon listing in a bid to increase visibility for upcoming brands. 

This is in line with the goal of exporting original brands made of authentic materials in a bid to showcase what Japan has to offer on the international market. 

In its latest venture, the Japan-based company has launched konjac sponge designed with easy fabric for gentle cleaning of the body and face. 

According to the company, the konjac sponge was an idea which came about after a thorough market research exercise that was carried out by the company’s elite marketing team. 

The sponge comes in a soft and smooth touch making it easy to use when washing different parts of the body as it can be squeezed into any shape. 

Besides, it can be used for general family use especially for younger children who need a smooth cleaning material that does not harm their body parts. 

Most importantly, the konjac sponge is made from Japanese natural materials. As a manufacturer of edible konjacs, the company chose to use Japanese natural konjac flour. This is a safe and reliable konjac sponge made from the same raw materials that humans eat. 

The ingredients in konjac gently remove dirt and old keratin from the skin without any soap. Slide it onto the skin without rubbing. It is 100% plant-based sponge, additive-free, and can be used for all skin types.

However, it cannot be used in a dry state. It softens when soaked in warm water. After use, one is advised to wash it well, wring out the water lightly, and store it in a container away from a high temperature and high humidity place, or keep it in a container filled with water. 

The konjac sponge is currently available in the Japanese market and stores at an affordable price. 

For international orders, customers are advised to visit the Global Brand website to place their orders.

Century Martial Arts Fights Inefficiency in Product Development with Centric PLM™

Sporting goods company ups their digital transformation and innovation game

Century Martial Arts, the martial arts gear company, has selected Centric Software®’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution for emerging brands, Centric SMB. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source and sell products such as apparel, footwear, sporting goods, furniture, home décor, cosmetics, food & beverage and luxury to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Century Martial Arts was founded in 1976 by Mike Dillard, a two-time National Karate champion. Headquartered in Oklahoma City, USA, the company has since grown to be the worldwide leader in designing and manufacturing equipment for martial arts like uniforms, belts, pads, headgear and punching bags, with over 11,000 SKUs.

Century’s Vice President of Product Development, Kris Horner says the speed at which the market is moving provided the impetus to accelerate product development. “We found the systems we had in place that worked twenty years ago when our company was much smaller, don’t work today. It’s difficult to push information back and forth from one department to another; that’s where we were lacking.”

Horner talks about the industry. “Martial arts is a traditional business that tends to evolve rather slowly but Century has always been a very innovative company in this space. We developed the freestanding bag category—punching bags on bases that can be moved around and don’t have to be hung up.” He continues, “We’ve created a product that’s probably more famous than the Century name itself, called BOB®—a mannequin that you put on top of one of these freestanding bases and you punch it. It is important for Century to continue with its heritage to continue to develop new products.”

Century chose Centric due to their leadership position in the industry. “We really wanted to leverage Centric’s experience in their 400 implementations. We were looking for something that would improve our processes out-of-the-box, not just covert our existing processes to digital,” says Horner. “The software itself is very intuitive and the user interface is really clean and straight-forward. Those are the things that really appealed to us about it.”

The strong increase of their e-commerce channel also motivated Century to move more quickly toward digital transformation with PLM. “Giving our team the ability to communicate in a more efficient way— a place where all the data related to products resides in the same place—we believe will accelerate our product development process and keep us more competitive in the markets that we work in,” says Horner. Quality of the products is also important. “Not a lot of companies sell products that people are going to kick, punch and hit for years on end!”

With the project kick-off under their belt, Century is looking forward to the future. Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software says, “We are delighted to be partnering with Century Martial Arts on their digital transformation journey. It is always a pleasure to work with world leaders in their field and we are looking forward to a mutually beneficial relationship in the years to come.”

Century was founded in 1976 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by one man working out of his garage. We’ve since grown into the worldwide leader in martial arts equipment. Along the way, Century has been responsible for some major innovations within the industry. We were one of the first martial arts companies to create a website, allowing our customers to easily place orders and access digital resources.

Century has also designed some of the best known and most iconic pieces of martial arts gear, like the Wavemaster®, the original freestanding training bag, and the BOB® body opponent bag. BOB® bags frequently pop up in TV shows and movies, including ‘The Office,’ ‘Deadpool,’ ‘Parks and Rec,’ and ‘Elementary,’ to name just a few!

One of the reasons why Century is so passionate about what we do is that many of our employees are themselves, martial artists. Our founder, Mike Dillard, won two Karate National Championships during his time as a competitor.
