AFE Recognized for Its “Food Service Dry” Project

Among the five projects awarded this year three “Best Practice Awards” and two “Special Awards”. AFE was honored with a Best Practice Award for its diversification initiative through the launch of the Food Service range, including the introduction of a ramen soup stock product that can be stored at room temperature.

This project fully reflects AFE’s strategic ambition to:

  • Diversify our portfolio to better meet the expectations of the European market
  • Develop tailored solutions for Asian foodservice professionals
  • Showcase our Japanese expertise in new market segments

The project was carried out in close collaboration with AJINOMOTO FROZEN FOODS, leveraging cross-functional expertise and internal synergies within the Ajinomoto Group.
It marks a first step toward building a more comprehensive Food Service portfolio, combining frozen and ambient products, with the goal of offering a cohesive and differentiated Asian range.
