Japan–China trade, with practical support for market entry.OUR APPROACH
Japan–China trade, with practical support for market entry.
GATEWAY began by exporting Japanese everyday goods and cosmetics, then expanded into outsourced brand operations and general distributorships in China. Our experience across imports, exports and brand operations informs early-stage planning for Japanese brands entering China and Chinese brands entering Japan.
OUR EXPERIENCE
From product trade to brand market entry.
Brand operations and distribution
We expanded into outsourced brand operations and general distributorships in China, gaining experience in the operational preparation and cooperation needed beyond a product sale.
Expansion into imports to Japan
During the pandemic, our work extended to imports of testing reagents, masks and face shields into Japan, adding two-way trade experience in a changing market.
NEW ENERGY · JAPAN & AUSTRALIA
Market-entry support for the new energy sector
Since 2023, GATEWAY has expanded into the new energy sector. In 2025, our representative director served as Japan Country Manager for a major EV charging company, with responsibility for business development in Japan and Australia. We apply that practical experience to supporting overseas companies entering the Japanese market.
Beyond introducing products, we connect markets, technology and partners to support local business development. Drawing on two-way Japan–China trade and brand-operations experience, we help businesses plan their entry into Japan, prepare for launch and coordinate with potential partners. The scope of support is agreed individually according to the product and project requirements.
