Our team comprises specialists with over 10 years of experience in fields such as retail, e-commerce, and marketing. Beyond the breadth of expertise, we foster synergy within the team to nurture and launch brands effectively. We also work with a diverse range of brands, enabling us to simultaneously engage with various industries and fields. Unlike operations focused on a single brand, our approach offers the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge and experience across businesses, providing an environment for specialists to grow. We primarily drive the following two business areas: 1. Domestic Business We acquire brands through M&A, focusing on those with annual sales ranging from ¥100 million to ¥3 billion. We implement growth strategies across multiple facets, including marketing, supply chain management (SCM), business management infrastructure, and organizational development. Having completed over 10 M&A transactions and brand growth investments, Forest has built unparalleled expertise in e-commerce, cross-border commerce, and retail business management within Japan. 2. International Business We operate a business that globally markets traditional Japanese crafts and everyday goods under the "Made in Japan" label. By visiting local industries committed to quality craftsmanship, we bring Japan's unique products and their stories to the global market. Forest exists to revitalize Japan’s culture of exceptional manufacturing by harnessing the power of business and technology. Future Plans Based on the knowledge gained from these ventures, we plan to introduce services tailored to the e-commerce and retail industries, leveraging data and technology.
