ANA Trading Co., Ltd., part of the ANA Group, has launched a new brand called ‘ANA FINDS’ on February 20th, featuring selected products from both domestic and international sources.
Utilizing the ANA Group’s network, the goal is to unearth popular local specialties and sell them nationwide under the ANA brand, thus supporting local businesses and individuals looking to expand their distribution channels. Moreover, by introducing consumers to the products’ origins, there’s an ambition to drive interest in the producers and encourage visits to the regions, thereby promoting local revitalization.
Products are categorized into three groups: ‘Gourmet’, ‘Lifestyle’, and ‘Bags & Travel’, offering locally processed agricultural and marine products, crafts and goods utilizing regional traditional techniques, and high-quality original travel equipment.
