Lotte Holdings: A Sweet Story
Lotte Holdings is a huge company from Japan. It's known for making delicious sweets and frozen treats. But that's not all! This company also runs hotels and is involved in managing sports teams. It's a "holding company," which means it owns many other smaller companies that do different things.
How Lotte Started
Lotte was started a long time ago, in June 1948. A businessman named Shin Kyuk-ho founded the company in Tokyo, Japan. He had a vision to create a company that would bring joy to people through its products.
What Lotte Does
Lotte is super famous for its confectionery, which means candy, gum, and chocolate. They also make a lot of popular ice cream products. Besides tasty treats, Lotte is also involved in:
- Hotels: They own and operate many hotels, offering places for people to stay and relax.
- Sports: Lotte owns a professional baseball team in Japan called the Chiba Lotte Marines. This shows their interest in sports and entertainment.
- Other Businesses: Lotte also has businesses in areas like financial services and retail, which means they help people with money matters and run stores.
Lotte's Place in Japan
When it comes to making sweets, Lotte is one of the biggest companies in Japan. It's the third-largest confectionery maker there, right after Meiji Seika and Ezaki Glico. This shows how popular their candies and ice creams are with people in Japan.
Lotte Around the World
Even though Lotte started in Japan, it's a "multinational" company. This means its products and businesses are found all over the world, not just in Japan. So, you might find Lotte candies or other products in many different countries!
