“Where an individual is weak or vulnerable, there is strength in a group.”
This particular Japanese proverbs resonates a great deal with the Sazae business. Whether it is to describe our internal team synergies or the attitude that we have towards building external business partnerships, we believe collaboration gives us the most significant competitive advantage. We hope to have the chance to meet your team too soon.
