At a time when athletes are balancing increasingly demanding training schedules with everyday life, Ajinomoto Co., Inc. and its subsidiary, Ajinomoto Foods North America, announced a new partnership with The St James designed to integrate well-being into athletic performance.
The collaboration unites Ajinomoto Co., Inc.—a global leader in amino acid science and food innovation—and Ajinomoto Foods North America, a specialty frozen food manufacturer focused on well-being through everyday eating experiences, a premier sports, wellness, education and active entertainment platform serving thousands of athletes across more than 20 sports.
The partnership reflects a shared belief in the connection between well-being and human potential. its purpose, to contribute to the well-being of all human beings, society, and the planet, aligns with its mission to maximise potential through sports and wellness.
Located in the Washington, DC region, it is one of the country's leading multi-use sports and wellness complexes, spanning 450,000 square feet and welcoming more than four million visits annually. It offers best-in-class sports, elite training, youth development and innovative programming designed to inspire achievement.
Together, the organisations support the pursuit of excellence, recognising that results are shaped not only by training, but by the routines, recovery, and everyday moments that surround it.
Its long-standing work in amino acid research has supported athletes around the world, reinforcing its commitment to performance and well-being. In North America, that comes to life, where culinary craftsmanship and quality come together to create food that makes every day eating a happy experience.
Dave Gardner, president and CEO of Ajinomoto Foods North America, said, "At its core, this partnership is about supporting those striving to reach their goals in a way that reflects real life. Athletes and families are constantly balancing training, competition, and daily routines. Our goal is to make that balance more achievable, supporting both performance and the moments that help people feel connected, recharged, and ready to show up at their best."
Kendrick Ashton, co-founder and co-CEO at The St James, said, "This partnership reflects our belief that performance doesn't start and stop with training — it's shaped by everything around it, especially nutrition. At The St. James, we're building an environment where athletes can train, recover, and fuel at the highest level. Partnering with Ajinomoto allows us to bring that to life in a meaningful way for the thousands of athletes and families we serve every day."
