Aska Company's Idea of “Specific Skill System”
In January 2025, we went to China for recruitment interviews for specific skilled employees and market research.
As the Aska Company itself plays the role of a receiving organization for the recruitment interviews of specific skilled employees, we are in direct contact with our counterpart companies in China and provide comprehensive support for specific skilled employees from their arrival in Japan to their return home. And as of February 2025, Aska Company has hired 14 Chinese specific skilled employees.
The Aska Company's specific skill system is designed to achieve a higher standard for our specific skilled employees. In addition to simply adhering to labor standards, we also focus on supporting their Japanese language studies and actively support their acquisition of Japanese language proficiency test (N1 to N5) qualifications.
For example, we are working to create an environment that facilitates learning for employees with specific skills by providing educational opportunities during overtime hours.
Market Research in China
We visited markets and supermarkets to learn about Chinese life and culture.
Unlike in Japan, measuring and selling is the norm, and consumers generally decide the quantity and weight of products and purchase them by themselves.
Consumers are able to get only the amount they need, which helps reduce food loss and promotes economically and environmentally sustainable consumption.
In addition, cashless payments utilizing smartphones are rapidly spreading, especially in urban areas, where most people use QR codes to make payments.
Furthermore, a payment system based on facial recognition was also introduced.
This technology is not yet widespread in Japan, and we were able to catch a glimpse of the advanced aspects of China.
Inside the supermarket. They don't sell in packs. It is an extension of the market.
Vegatables are also a measured sale. The price was displayed in 500g units.
This is also a culture of measuring and selling. Spouted pouches were also available.
The market culture is contained within the supermarket. Measuring and selling culture is strong.
Chinese Spouted Pouches
Spouted pouch containers are also available in Chinese supermarkets, and we saw many pouches with spouts that are not for refill purposes.
Many of the designs are ingeniously designed so that consumers can easily open the cap.
Aska Company is also actively developing spout caps for pouch containers, and currently offers a lineup of caps with diameters ranging from 8.7 to 26.5 mm.
In addition to single caps, hinged caps are also available, and caps with features such as discharge adjustment valves are also available.
