Ciloo expands to Japan

Rotterdam, the Netherlands, 12 August 2025

Ciloo, the global platform that enables organizations to produce branded materials locally worldwide, has officially expanded its global network into Japan. This move marks a significant step in the company’s mission to simplify global brand execution while reducing environmental impact.

The expansion allows Ciloo’s clients, many of which are multinational enterprises with a presence in Asia, to produce promotional materials and print within Japan’s borders, eliminating the need for international shipping and unnecessary carbon emissions.

“Japan is a critical market for many of our global clients, both from a brand presence and operational standpoint,” said Agnieszka Wronkowska, VP of Supply Side Operations at Ciloo. “Having local partners in Japan allows us to better address the specific requirements of our customers in the region. Being closer to them means we can gain a deeper understanding of their needs and desired products, enabling us to become truly local, not only from a supply perspective but also in terms of business and market understanding.”

Strategic and Operational Benefits for Global Clients

With this expansion, Ciloo has established local production coverage in key regions of Japan through its certified Japan production network. This network meets global standards, such as FSC® and ISO 9001, ensuring consistency, environmental responsibility, and quality assurance. It also operates with an information security management system based on the international standard ISO 27001, supporting secure handling of client data and production processes.

Clients using the Japan network can now expect:

  • Lead times reduced by up to 60% for commonly ordered items
  • Lower shipping costs and customs complexity
  • Increased brand compliance with localized fulfillment
  • The ability to produce branded materials on demand, reducing overproduction and storage costs
  • A Ciloo-powered, branded online shop in the Japanese language, with invoicing supported in Japanese Yen

A Step Forward for Sustainability

By producing materials closer to the point of use and only when needed, Ciloo’s Japanese network contributes to clients’ ESG goals. Preliminary estimates show a potential 35–50% reduction in shipping-related CO₂ emissions for global clients with recurring orders in Japan. On-demand production also helps limit waste and supports more efficient inventory practices.

Looking Ahead

Japan is a strategic gateway for further expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, with additional markets under evaluation. As more clients seek consistent brand execution with less environmental impact, Ciloo continues to extend its local production capabilities where they matter most.
