Japanese Santop Starts Retail in Bangkok

Santop Co., Ltd invested THB 2 million (JPY 7 million) to establish the branch Santop (Thailand) Co., Ltd in Bangkok and employ 3 Thai people with excellent Japanese language skill since October 2013, preparing to purchase bolts and nuts from local manufacturers and start a Japanese style retail business with punctual delivery. Santop's advantage in Thailand is its punctual delivery system which is commonplace in Japan. The company's president says Thai people like to take things slowly and are less punctual. Therefore Santop is planning to utilize Japan's delivery knowhow as a blue ocean in its Thailand  business.
