Employee Interview

Sales department

We will stay close to local needs and deliver the quality of "Ito Kampo Pharmaceutical" to the world.

Overseas Sales Group /Joining

Please tell us your current job.

Proposing our products to overseas markets, etc.
I am in charge.

The Overseas Sales Group is responsible for proposing and exporting our own products. For existing distributors, we plan and propose new products and locally original products, and we are directly involved in negotiations with local buyers. For new business development, we explain our strengths to customers we've connected with through trade shows and inquiries, and propose products that meet local needs and regulations. We also focus on OEM contracts from overseas customers and are developing products in collaboration with local partner companies.

What I find most rewarding is,
When did that happen?

In cooperation with local agents,
When we were able to expand the market.

Expanding our market in Vietnam, which I was in charge of, was a major success for me. Vietnam is one of our most important markets, but previously, sales were stagnant and we hit a major roadblock. So I made numerous visits to our local distributor and built a relationship of trust through thorough dialogue. By carefully listening to the real needs of the local market and making repeated improvements to product specifications, we were able to achieve record-high sales in the Vietnamese market. I feel a great sense of accomplishment from being able to feel the momentum of the local market firsthand and achieving results hand in hand with the distributor. However, I believe there is still a lot of potential in Vietnam. I will not be satisfied with the current situation and will work to further establish the "Ito Kanpo Pharmaceutical" brand in the local market.

Future goals and prospects
Please let us know.

The quality of "Ito Kanpo Pharmaceutical"
I want to deliver this to the whole world.

Currently, we export our own products and develop OEM products to over 24 countries worldwide. Moving forward, we aim to further strengthen our collaboration with existing partners and accelerate our expansion into new markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Middle East, which are experiencing significant population growth and economic development. We want to deliver the quality of "Ito Kampo Pharmaceutical" to the world and gain new trust in untapped areas.

My favorite product

Citric Acid 5000 Super Charge

I travel frequently for work, both domestically and internationally, often facing long hours of travel and demanding schedules. This product is my go-to during those times. Even on days when I feel exhausted, I always drink it before bed so I can perform at my best the next morning. I can confidently recommend this product to customers all over the world.
