ELPRO Establishes New Subsidiary to Expand Presence in Japan

ELPRO announces a significant milestone in its strategic growth initiatives in Asia Pacific. In collaboration with Bosch and in close alignment with OOSUMI LOGISTICS, the Swiss company has established ELPRO Japan, formally named ELPRO Corporation, to enhance customer service and accelerate business growth in Japan. 

 

For over a decade, ELPRO has been represented in the Japanese market by their certified distribution partner OOSUMI LOGISTICS. Throughout this partnership, OOSUMI LOGISTICS established a strong customer base in the region. Their combined expertise and deep market penetration is the ideal foundation upon which to collaborate and expand ELPRO's continued growth in Japan.

 

We're really excited about getting more involved in Japan's pharmaceutical world. Having our own legal entity in such an important market, but also teaming up with Bosch and OOSUMI LOGISTICS, demonstrates how serious we are about providing great products, service and support to our customers in Japan.

Christoph Bamert, Chief Sales Officer at ELPRO

OOSUMI LOGISTICS will continue to serve its customer base and ELPRO will extend the collaboration in areas such as warehousing and logistics, supporting operational efficiency for customers.

 

Drawing on OOSUMI LOGISTICS’ extensive experience and network, together with ELPRO’s innovative technology in the pharmaceutical monitoring space, we sincerely look forward to further strengthening our partnership and building on our sustainable success through the establishment of ELPRO Japan.

Haruaki Yamakawa, Chief Executive Officer at OOSUMI LOGISTICS

In a significant move to bolster its leadership team, ELPRO is pleased to welcome Ayako Kurauchi in the key role of managing director for Japan. With a background in biochemistry and molecular biology, Kurauchi brings years of experience from her past roles in the pharmaceutical and cold chain logistics industries. Her acumen will be crucial in helping ELPRO grow and innovate in Japan.

 

Her expertise will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and elevate our offerings to meet the evolving needs of the pharmaceutical industry in Japan.

Yan Qin Yeo, Managing Director APAC at ELPRO

ELPRO's commitment to excellence, combined with its strategic collaborations and expert leadership, positions the company for continued success and expansion in the vibrant Japanese pharmaceutical market.
