In a groundbreaking move, House Foods Group will launch its innovative platform, the Co-Creation Community Lab, on November 17, 2025. This initiative is part of the community site "Come on House," which has surpassed an impressive 320,000 members. The aim of this platform is to collaborate with customers in creating fresh ideas and new products, promoting a shared journey from concept to reality.
The Co-Creation Community Lab will focus on collective creativity, inviting members to contribute their thoughts on new products and services. The platform will facilitate the entire development process in collaboration with customers, ensuring that their preferences and needs are at the forefront of new offerings. The first featured initiative, launching in January 2026, will be the "Tonkari Corn Fan Club," which will also kick off a campaign to name the fan club starting November 17, 2025.
The Come on House site was established in January 2020, created in response to the evolving lifestyles and diverse value systems of consumers amid an expanding information landscape driven by social media and the internet. The site's mission is to maintain a deep understanding of customer psychology and to develop new values in partnership with its members. Through a continuous feedback loop of surveys and polls, like those that influenced the launch of new flavors for popular products like "Tonkari Corn" and "Furuche," the community platform represents a dynamic space for engagement.
