Green Tech Co., Ltd. is a company established in 1992. The company has been importing and selling various types of plant extracts in Japan for about 20 years, and we have heard that Japanese customers perceive Green Tech as a manufacturer with a wide range of plant extracts. In fact, the company handles over 5,000 types of plant extracts. In addition to traditional plant extracts, we also produce and sell products that focus on the biodiversity of South America, particularly Brazil and the Amazon, including plant extracts and oils, as well as products developed based on microbiome research that demonstrate effectiveness in maintaining microbial community homeostasis. We also manufacture products derived from algae and microalgae, including components and extracted extracts. In recent years, we have been focusing on research and development, enhancing evaluation data for our products in both In-Vivo and In-Vitro studies, as well as conducting research and development in response to new trends such as skin microbiomes. Additionally, we are committed to developing and manufacturing products that have demonstrated effectiveness by using our proprietary freeze technology (preservation, grinding, extraction) and fermentation technology to increase the concentration of active ingredients. These manufacturing technologies are not only used for the development of our own products but also support the development of customized products.
