CEO Daniel Leung said in the opening speech "The beginning sales for Kayama is very bad, after many years of hard work and we have turned around with business expanding rapidly. This would not be possible without the support of everybody including our customers, suppliers and our staff. I hope everyone will take this opportunity to celebrate our 3rd anniversary." President Doug Yokoyama added, "Kayama's Albacore Tuna brand had been established with the help of many parties. Point of control when fishing and processing of the fish while on board and transportation leads to exceptional high quality fish. The strong relationship build between customers and suppliers is also a major factor of our success." The strong relationship between Kayama & Japan, prompted by the fact that Doug is 3rd generation Canadian Japanese.
