About Us:

Since 2005, Knect has worked in Japan with international & Japanese companies. Our vast experience gives us important insights into the Japanese market & the challenges companies face when doing business in the Japanese territory.

We have several Japanese registered companies. We are licensed importers as well as real-estate agents. Our team of professionals understand the market, the language & the culture. We have the contacts & experience to assist you.

Our services include:

  • Sourcing:​​
​Do you require specific items from Japan? Tap into our local knowledge, language and access. We have the skills to find whatever it is you need, from products, locations, services etcetera. 

  • Localisation:
Entering or expanding in Japan requires cultural understanding in order to ensure that your brand message remains true, yet also resonates with the local market in words, phrases and concepts, think of this as translation at a deeper, cultural level. Whether you have simple brochures or in depth company manuals, localisation is extremely important.

  • Import / Export:
Different commodities require different approaches to enter or leave Japan. As professional, licensed importers and exporters, we have years of experience. Japanese regulations are particular to Japan, and change. Only a local partner can supply truly accurate information! Our licensing allows us to import almost all commodities directly, including samples.

  •  Property purchase: 
Our subsidiary "Jyusen Pty., Ltd." has been operating as licensed realtors in Japan for more than 60 years. Whatever your property interests are, Jyusen will take good care of you. They are familiar with all aspects of real estate in Japan, and can provide support in English.

  • Franchise expansion:
Our team of experts is ready to work with you on your expansion into Japan. With our vast experience in various aspects of the Japanese market, from compliance to real estate, importing and market support, Knect Japan is ready to assist you in your journey.
​
  • E-Commerce support:
Online sales are a major part of Japanese consumer habits. Amazon is here, and can be managed by you remotely, if you have a local partner who is able to manage importing and logistics. Local giant Rakuten is also accessible via a local partner. If you prefer to operate an independent online store, we can manage the compliance, registrations, importing, storage and shipping.

  • Storage & Logistics:
No amount of storage is too much for us! Utilise our professional storage solutions to supply your Japanese customers!
