Message from the CEO

The Release of XCIDIA 2008

Throughout our years of industry experience in America with the trade of Japanese products, we’ve been searching for an answer to the unfortunate scenario often played out between trade companies and Japanese producers. Despite finding a Japanese producer with really fantastic products, small lot sizes and other order and production factors ultimately lead profit-driven trade companies to give up on small-time Japanese producers.

Additionally, retailers bored with the same mass-produced Japanese products have often come to us expressing their desire to stock “a richer variety of products,” or “products with originality that fit my store’s style.” The limited availability abroad of truly great Japanese products has unfortunately caused this to be the general attitude.

By connecting our knowledge of the thoughts and desires of both sides, we have created XCIDIA, a bridge from Japan to the World. The notion that low cost, low risk international transactions are impossible has finally been dispelled.

Not merely relying on IT, we at XCIDIA understand that certain times call for a physical, personal touch. Our enterprise has materialized to successfully unite digital and analog, connecting Japan to the world, both online and offline.
