Overseas business
Aim to expand into America, Asia, Europe and other parts of the world
The pet industry is also facing waves of globalization. Japell is expanding its domestic and overseas business operations.
To meet ever-diversifying needs for pets, we need to gather information and procure products from all over the world, instead of simply learning from the United States, one of the leading nations in terms of pets.Japell is importing products extensively from countries in the world, such as the United States, Canada, Southeast Asian countries and China, and has a location in Los Angels.Additionally, we established a local corporation, Japell Hong Kong, and opened the first overseas pet store.
We are considering expansion of our core wholesaling business in the Asian region where we can expect the ample growth potential of the pet industry and are also considering opening antenna shops in the regions such as Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore to help promote that expansion.
Store business
Stores responding to ever-diversifying needs
The greater the bond between people and pets, the wider the needs become. Purchase means for consumers are increasing. Pet stores in shopping malls and e-commerce sites are among such means.We are incorporating our know-how fostered as a general trading company specialized in pets into store development, in order to respond to requests from all consumer tiers.
Japell Partnership Service Co., Ltd. undertakes store development and has enough capabilities to make the best use of the know-how fostered by Japell.
Repack Business
Accommodating changes for the pet food industry
Japan’s pet market is witnessing a notably increasing preference for having smaller sized dogs and cats due to change in rearing environments and, more and more pet foods have been getting smaller in package sizes and having more varieties.
In order to manufacture pet food products to meet these market needs, Japell opened a repacking center dedicated to pet foods as part of its new business unit, where imported pet food ingredients are individually packaged.
This unit undertakes manufacturing management and hygiene management for not only Japell’s private brand items but also for other products requested by domestic and overseas manufacturers, and importers, as well as activities to import, store, and ship products domestically.
