ABLE MANAGEMENT CONSULTING, INC.
Welcome to the very complicated and challenging Japanese consumer product market and surrounding governmental regulations.
We understand your concern - many companies may be contemplating market entry or perhaps many have already entered into the Japanese market, but most of them are frustrated by a lack of progress. In either case, you probably don't know exactly what you are doing wrong or should be doing in Japan.
Opinions abound, and in the meantime your senior management and R&D Department at the head office (some of them may understand little about today's Japan) are growing impatient.
AMC is a relatively small company but has a 19 years history of experience in these matters. We will make every possible effort to get you one step closer to the reality of Japan's rapidly evolving distribution system, product development, and regulations with particular reference to cosmetics, supplements, drugs and environmental quality products.
We hope that our involvement can at least help cut some of the uncertainties you may otherwise encounter in bringing your brand to Japan.
Yes, the market and product registration processes are difficult and challenging but the market is also large and rewarding, if you do things right.
We sincerely hope you will find that our support will not only enhance your understanding of the Japanese market and technical/regulatory expertise, but it may also be an interesting and stimulating experience.
