Last February, April and in May, Connect Japan gave several trainings over business culture and communication with the Japanese for the management team and employers at Kverneland Group Nieuw Vennep BV. Kverneland Group was originally founded in Norway. In 1998 they have purchased Netherlands based Green land Group and in 2012 Kubota corporation from Japan acquired Kverneland Group with full ownership. Due to this mix of business culture background, Kverneland Group felt the need of business culture trainings. More training will be followed in 2017 for group companies in Europe and for Japanese expats working at Kverneland Group. For inquires of training, please kindly contact: info@connectjapan.nl

Last May RAVAS and their Japanese partner have succeeded in obtaining a legal trade certificate for their hand pallet scales. Connect Japan has supported the application process by being responsible for accurate and smooth technical information exchange with the Japanese partner and the authorities.

Begin November Connect Japan has visited IFTF (International Floriculture & Horticulture Trade Fair) held in Haarlemmermeer and Flora Holland Trade Fair held in Aalsmeer with her Japanese client Rose grower. IFTF as well as Flora Holland Trade Fair are well established exhibitions worldwide, providing platform for all players of the Floriculture and Horticulture industry chain. Connect Japan supported her client in his business negotiations during the exhibitions.
