FUJI reveals global distribution changes

Rod component manufacturing giant FUJI KOGYO has updated is global distribution strategy as it embraces the latest changes in the worldwide business environment.

With effect from April 1st, the Japanese manufacturer has divided its distribution model into five key areas – Japan, the American continent, Europe (which will be split into two), Oceania and Asia, appointing well-known distributors in each.

FUJI says this global distribution model will not only ensure the quickest supply chain for tackle items but will also ensure the latest information on products and service updates will also be available.

For rod factory sales, Kowa Company will continue to be responsible for providing the required items.

North and South America distributor Anglers Resource owner Bill Falconer (above) said: “I am very excited about this enhanced new structure that will allow us to better serve our Fuji customers.

“This streamlined new structure allows us to be much more agile in serving our customers. This new distribution structure allows us to offer both faster order fulfillment as well as deeper inventory to ensure consistent product availability for things like the revolutionary new TCH seat technology.

“And the timing is perfect as Fuji plans to continue to release new products that we can bring to market quickly and in robust quantity.”
