Preko Group Achieves Record High Revenue
In recent developments, Preko Group, a leading food wholesale company based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, announced that its total sales for the fiscal year ending March 2025 reached an impressive 30.4 billion yen. This accomplishment marks a 12% increase compared to the previous year and represents the third consecutive year of record sales since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Factors Leading to Record Sales
One of the primary factors contributing to this remarkable achievement is the increase in the number of customers. As of the end of March 2025, the company served 33,700 restaurants, the highest number ever recorded in its history. This growth in clientele is indicative of the company's sustained popularity over the last decade, which has fueled its expansion.
