Automotive import and export business

Automotive business of BRIDGE that bridges the world

Truly desirable automotive parts and components are provided to our customers

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. …Read More
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.Close

Times change but people remain essential throughout time.

The internet is making the distance amazingly small between Japan and the rest of the world. …Read More 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.Close

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. …Read More 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.Close
