History
Okamura Oil Mill was founded in March of Meiji 25 (1892). According to the president's message, the company has continued pressing cottonseed for more than 130 years. At the time of its founding, cotton fields are said to have spread around the area, but domestic cotton cultivation declined within a few years of the founding. To continue the business, the company sought raw materials overseas, though stable supply sources were lacking and difficulties continued. The company has continued to focus on cottonseed because cottonseed was the origin of its business, and it calls its journey to explore the hidden potential of cottonseed the "Cotton Dream." Its corporate philosophy sets forth trust, teamwork and progress as its company principles.
