Real Results

  • "Japan always felt like a market we couldn’t decode. We had conversations, but no traction. Once we started working with ShinTai, things shifted — their team made introductions that finally clicked. We didn’t waste time chasing the wrong leads anymore, and that alone made a huge difference.”

    Raj C. – Director of Sales, Educational Toy Brand | India

  • “We thought setting up a Japanese entity would be a painful, expensive journey. But ShinTai took care of everything — the paperwork, the accounting, even our visa filings. It was a full-service solution at a lower cost than hiring separate vendors. We’re now established, visible, and credible — all within weeks.”

    Johnny Wang – General Manager, Pet Brand | Taiwan

  • “We’d been gathering bits and pieces of intel about Japan for years — but none of it added up. ShinTai gave us a structured, reliable way to understand where our brand could actually grow. We saved months of guesswork and were finally able to move forward with confidence.”

    Michelle K. – Head of Expansion, Baby Care Brand | Hong Kong

  • “Before ShinTai, our outreach felt like shouting into a void. Once we had a local presence in place and a clear partner strategy, the tone of responses changed entirely. It wasn’t just a shift in perception — it was a turning point in our market entry.”
