About us
Company Overview
As a special distributor in Japan, FINDEST JAPAN has been contracting with nine top wineries in seven German wine-growing regions for more than 25 years to provide high-quality wines. We are not merely importers; we collaborate with sales enterprises and, when appropriate, other importers to strengthen our planning efforts aimed at promoting widespread appreciation of these wines. Leveraging our experience in restaurant operations, event management, and our extensive network, we focus on serving as a bridge to support and steer towards increasing handling volumes.
Additionally, in conjunction with FINDEST's "Human Revolution Project," we are prepared to introduce wine to younger generations not just as an alcoholic beverage but as an entity with diverse values. We aim to offer styles that enable them to unleash new creativity through their experiences.
As a "partner" committed to jointly pursuing [the achievement of partner companies' goals and new evolutions], FINDEST JAPAN offers the following services:
1. Fully Made-to-Order System
Instead of inventory sales, we provide optimal products through a made-to-order system tailored to our partner companies' needs. This approach instills a sense of responsibility in our staff to sell out products and brings them joy in handling carefully selected items.
2. Discovery of Creators with a Personal Axis
Rather than focusing on popular or well-known products, we engage with producers whose wines reflect their individuality, family heritage, and regional characteristics, bringing profound impact to recipients. We also have a track record of collaborative projects with similar artists.
3. Event Operations and Networking Support
Utilizing our extensive industry network, we assist partner companies by connecting them with other enterprises and supporting event planning.
4. Commitment to Fundamental Engagement
We conduct seminars and study sessions for client company employees, sharing the background and stories of products to enhance staff motivation and customer satisfaction.
5. Human Revolution Project
Through FINDEST JAPAN's two main pillars—the "Accompaniment Support Business" and the "Meta-Dynamics Business"—we offer mental care and coaching for employees, revitalizing the entire organization.
These initiatives enable restaurant staff to find joy not merely as sellers but as "expressers," enhancing overall corporate vitality and customer satisfaction. Our long-standing relationships with producers and deep insights allow us to provide unique value that others cannot replicate.
Furthermore, for members of our annual order plan, we customize entertainment and performance programs utilizing our products to support attracting customers and retaining repeat patrons.
Through these activities, we are committed to promoting and enhancing the value of German wines in the Japanese market.
