Global Marketing & Merchandising
Liberalization of trade and investment as well as deregulation have brought the world into new era of mega-competition. The companies best-able to meet the challenges of the new global market place will be those who are ready to seize new opportunities.
With Osaka and Tokyo as dual hubs, our strategically located overseas offices in the U.S.A., Europe and Asia form a network of information, marketing, product development, finance and logistics.
