Among Mitsubishi International GmbH's business groups the Food, Textile and General Merchandise Division is involved in the widest product spectrum. One of the areas of expertise cover the Japanese brewing industry which is supplied with German, Czech and Slovenian hops and malt. The division is now also planning to trade these products on the high-potential markets of China and Vietnam.

Responding to industrial needs, plastic optical fibers for data transmission and illumination can be supplied just-in-time from the division's local stock point.

The division, for example, also sells prefabricated houses manufactured by a Swedish joint-venture company TOMOKU HUS AB to Japanese homebuilders. Its other operations include distribution of pulp, thermal, carbonless and inkjet paper on a worldwide basis. For the inkjet paper business the division seeks for good competitive products, offering special services to their customer by dealing from its stock point in Germany - from where not only jumbo rolls, but customized packed plotter rolls and sheets as well are sent to individual customers throughout the world.

These and other strengths, including the diverse capabilities of its staff, enable FTG Division to offer numerous services to meet the specific needs of their customers.
