Thinking Consultants

Thinking Consultants is based in Osaka Japan, the heart of Japanese aquaculture and gateway to Asia. We assist farms and businesses in providing sustainable and environmentally sound aquaculture products to global markets. We advise farms and businesses on modernization in order to participate in increasingly competitive international markets. Global supplying means commitment to customers far away who speak different languages and have different cultural backgrounds. We help you and your team overcome these difficulties. Thinking Consultants will work with you to:

  • Create communication channels between suppliers and buyers.
  • Work with supplier and buyer teams to understand and meet the requirements.
  • Create marketing materials for the target market.
  • Represent your company in marketing events.
  • Assist with resolution of differences.
