Beyond business meetings,
through to actual sales.
Hanbit is a product planning and trading company based in Shinagawa, Tokyo and Takahama, Fukui. We develop regional products together, propose them to department stores, mail-order channels and e-commerce, and handle wholesale and sales, putting regional revitalization into practice.
Our approach
Regional resources,
chosen by the market.
Even with distinctive ingredients and skills, regional businesses face barriers such as size, pricing, design, logistics and product information. Starting from Takahama's coastal and mountain communities, we bring a sales perspective and work through these challenges with businesses.
