Company profile
researched Aug 2026デイブレイク株式会社 (Daybreak) is a Tokyo-based company operating what it calls a "special freezing total solution business" for the food industry. Its offering combines three linked business models — a manufacturer function (special freezing machinery, marketed under the Art Lock Freezer name), a consulting function, and a food distribution function — delivered in collaboration with customers.
The company positions itself as a partner to businesses entering frozen operations, supporting them from equipment selection through post-delivery optimisation of freezing quality and the commercial development of the resulting frozen business. It also frames its special freezing technology in terms of converting production waste on the producer side into value for end consumers, with stated aims around regional contribution and environmental conservation.
Business model
Daybreak sells and installs special freezing equipment (Art Lock Freezer) to food producers and processors, layers consulting services on top of the hardware to raise frozen-product quality after delivery, and operates a food distribution function that helps customers commercialise frozen output. Recent activity includes producing a frozen-food catalogue for businesses that have installed the Art Lock Freezer as a sales-channel development aid.
