Kumamoto-based Local, which operates e-commerce platforms selling processed foods made from regional agricultural products, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Tokyo Pro Market for professional investors on Dec. 15. The company said the listing was aimed at improving name recognition and corporate credibility, with a future listing on a general market also under consideration. Founded in 2008 as Comsense, the firm initially focused on website production and system development before expanding into online sales through its own site and a Rakuten Ichiba storefront.
