弊社は、長年培ってきた英国中小企業による日本市場参入サポートの経験をもとに、世界中で評価されている日本の優れた伝統工芸品や高度技術によって造られた製品や革新的アイデア商品などを英国へ輸出したいという中小企業様をサポートすべく創業いたしました。

私は2007年に英国へ移住して以来、日本へ帰国する度に、日本企業によるものづくりへのこだわり、商品やサービスレベルの高さに感動します。日本には、本当に素晴らしく高価値な商品が数えきれないほどあり、他国にはまだないもしくは通用する商品が数多くあります。しかしながら、言葉の壁、該当市場に関する情報の不足、どうコンタクトを取ればいいのか分からない、などといった理由で参入の第一歩に至っていない企業様も多いと思います。

イギリスに所在する弊社は、そのような中小企業様の課題を解決する海外事業部としてトータル的サポートをいたします。

まずはお気軽にご相談ください。

ご連絡お待ちしております。

Find the Right Distributor for Japan’s Consumer and Retail Market

October 2025   

Expanding into Japan? The right distributor can make all the difference. They don’t just handle logistics—they help you connect with local consumers, strengthen your brand, and drive sales.

If you’re a consumer or retail brand, your ideal partner should be able to:

- Localise your product for Japanese customers, highlighting features that resonate
- Drive promotions through trade shows, pop-up stores, online advertising, and catalogues
- Boost brand awareness with social media and dedicated websites.

Take Plum & Ashby (a former customer), a UK home fragrance and skincare brand, for example. Their Japanese distributor hit the ground running: press releases, dedicated Japanese website, e-commerce integration, and active social media presence—all within months of launch.

The result? Strong brand visibility and a successful local partnership.
