CASE STUDY

Case Study

Voices of listed brands
ZOIE1st year listed / Mode
"Our brand page works like a business card now -
negotiations with stockists move noticeably faster."
After listing, your brand page becomes the hub: favorites and referral traffic to your official site arrive as reports. Thinking through the next move together over real numbers is what sets WTB apart from a mere listing site.

From inquiry through review and page creation, as fast as two weeks. Faster if your photos and brand copy are ready.

Your approach to making things and the accuracy of listing information. We never judge on follower counts or sales alone - pre-launch brands are welcome too.
QCan I consult about production (OEM/ODM) only?↓
Yes. As World Trade, we produce from a minimum lot of 30 pieces. It doesn't have to come with a listing.
QCan I cancel anytime?↓
Yes, you can cancel anytime.
MESSAGE

CEO Message

A world where challengers can keep on challenging.

Launching a brand is never easy. Beyond making products, there is funding, marketing, sales - and the fight with loneliness.

Facing many brand owners myself, I realized what they truly need is not just craftsmanship, but an environment where they can keep on challenging.

That is why we go beyond the frame of an OEM/ODM company and build an environment where brand owners can challenge with confidence: our own factory in China, resident Japanese management, and a network of partner factories with production records for major brand makers. All of these are means to that end.

And what we truly aim for lies beyond. A community where brands connect, learn, support each other and grow together. That is WORLD TRADE BRANDS.

What is hard alone becomes possible with peers. The more people challenge, the more exciting Japanese brands become. We are serious about creating that future.

"A world where challengers can keep on challenging." With that conviction, we will keep walking alongside brand owners.
