Our subsidiary Rivera Japan dressed up on September 29 for the corporate presentation of our brands and products in the capital of Japan. The Capitol Hotel Tokyu was the chosen location for our Company’s debut which began with a presentation by Fumie Kitahori, Director of Rivera Japan. Following her speech, those present had the opportunity to watch the corporate video in its Japanese version and understand our history in addition to our company’s philosophy, as well as the companies, products and services that it constitutes.
Later, at the Instituto Cervantes in Tokio, the Amigos de la Marca España (Friends of the Brand Spain) and Marcas Españolas (Spanish Brands) accreditation ceremony took place, a Foro de Marcas Renombradas initiative which acknowledges personalities whose relation with Spain or its companies stands out.
Rivera Japan played a leading role as the representative of Marca España (Brand Spain) at this ceremony, enabling it to award the Amigo de la Marca España to a Japanese personality. On behalf of our company, Fumie Kitahori presented the award to Tamura, a renowned traditional Japanese chef who has supported Spanish products by offering them on his menu for a number of seasons.
The ceremony was presided over by the Government High Commissioner for Marca España and the Spanish Ambassador in Japan. This event is the latest held by our company, after the event in Miami in 2013, and in Hamburg in June this year.
