Automotive business of BRIDGE that bridges the world

BRIDGE is in business to bridge the gap between a whole spectrum of businesses and people, as the corporate name implies. Out of all the business activities at BRIDGE, a special emphasis is put on the import and export of cars and car parts.

It is said that there are about one billion cars in circulation around the world and the number continues to increase.
A variety of needs arise all over the world as many cars are available far and wide.
For instance, imported cars are quite popular in Japan. Since cars are expensive purchases the currency exchange rate has a significant impact on the prices of cars.
In spite of the fact that the value of the Japanese yen has appreciated, the benefits are not significant enough for consumers to actually feel any difference. Imported cars, therefore, continue to remain expensive purchases for people in Japan.

With this understanding we are able to utilize our strong network for making purchases overseas, seeking out and acquiring the particular cars that our customers desire.
We bypass the middlemen to maximize the benefits of currency exchange rates for our customers.

We do not just deal in imports we also serve as a bridge for exports as well.
Japanese cars that feature a high performance and robustness, offering a fantastic cost performance, continue to remain extremely popular overseas.
Japanese sports cars, as well as classics, such as Hakosuka (Nissan Skyline C10) and Daruma (Toyota Celica 1600 GTV/TA22), are also quite popular.
Unless there is a reliable procurement channel in Japan, it is not possible to satisfy such an overseas demand.

We maximize the use of our strong network, which encompasses Japan, in order to respond to the needs overseas in an accurate manner. BRIDGE will continue connecting Japan with the rest of the world to provide truly desirable cars to our customers wherever they may be around the world.

Times change but people remain essential throughout time.

The internet is making the distance amazingly small between Japan and the rest of the world.
It is now possible to connect to the world not only through a personal computer but also using smart phones and other portable devices. Business opportunities on an international scale are definitely becoming a reality for a broader range of people.

The most essential component of any business is still "people" above all else.
Times change and technologies become increasingly advanced however business negotiations will fall through without a relationship of trust between the people involved.

It is for this reason that BRIDGE considers "the relationship of trust between people" to be essential in business.

The most important aspect of business in the field is to convey messages accurately.

It is imperative to overcome the "language barrier" in order to link Japan with the rest of the world.
Cultural traditions and customs, which vary from one country to another, often become obstacles for business in an international scene.

Language is not the only issue for communicating in business.
The most important aspect for success in the field is to "convey messages accurately". We understand from experience how important this is as we take part in many international transactions.

For instance, the communication component of "humor" is often integrated into our business negotiations in Osaka, where our office is located.
Incorporating this "humor" at business negotiations with people from overseas, in an effort to secure harmony, would probably not be interpreted by the other party in the way it is intended.
Topics may need to be changed and expressions may need to be replaced to convey information accurately, because without such effort business negotiations will not be successful.

At BRIDGE we acquire an understanding of the kind of people we will be negotiating with and the sort of business they might be interested in prior to engaging in business negotiations. We can offer assistance to our customers in a way that will bring results, by utilizing the know-how we have accumulated from numerous overseas experiences and in dealing with people overseas.

For connoisseurs not satisfied with ordinary parts. Consult BRIDGE for assistance if you are looking for high performance and highly functional parts and components!

Cars are highly customizable products that can change a performance quite significantly and allow users to feel the difference, simply by replacing single parts and components. Aero parts, mufflers, tires, wheels, etc., and the available types of parts are vastly different. Their purposes are also varied, ranging from enhancing speed to the customization of the exhaust sound. Various parts and components manufactured in Japan are particularly popular both in Japan and abroad, due to their superior functions.

BRIDGE makes available such parts and components made in Japan, not only to our customers in Japan but also everywhere else in the world. We are deeply proficient in the customization of cars as well and therefore we are able to suggest optimally suited parts for any project that our customers may have on their mind.

We deal not only in parts and components made in Japan but also various parts and components that are fitted to European sports cars as well. We utilize our reliable pipeline that links us with sources overseas to make available a diverse range of parts, therefore we welcome any inquiries for parts and components from overseas manufacturers as well. BRIDGE is here to offer support to all customers seeking a lavish car life.

BRIDGE selects the most suitable and superior used cars based on the requests we receive from our clients around the world before exporting them. This "used car export business" is the core business of the company.
BRIDGE has access to the USS Auctions in Japan, the principal car auctioneer for used cars, and a member of satellite and internet auction houses that form our channels for searching and procuring cars to deliver to our customers.
