Communication is an essential factor in creating a new food culture. For this reason Glico strives to facilitate good communication with consumers. With this quest in mind, the Company opened Glicopia Kobe, an amusement facility featuring its confectionery products and other items. In the spacious 1,400 m2 exhibition floor, a wide variety of displays are exhibited to introduce visitors to Glico's history and numerous business activities. The facility also offers a tour where visitors can watch Glico's production processes using state-of-the art robot technology. Of Glicopia's many attractions, 3D Theater, which shows an original Glico animated film using the latest CG techniques, is very popular among visitors. The 3D film offers an opportunity for both children and adults to have an enjoyable time together, which is one of Glico's main objectives. In 2005, Glicopia welcomed its 1 millionth visitor since it first opened in 1988.
Ezaki Memorial Hall was established in 1972 as a one of various programs commemorating Glico's 50th anniversary. The Hall displays records, products, sales promotion tools and items relating to the founder to show visitors how Glico has evolved since its establishment.
