In the wave of global economic integration, internationalization has become an inevitable path for enterprise development. KANOU’s establishment of its Singapore office in late 2022, followed by the official launch of its internationalization strategy in April 2023, marks a new stage of growth for the KANOU Group. Against this strategic backdrop, an important question arises: How can KANOU continuously support customer business expansion while achieving its own sustainable growth?
Background and Current Status of KANOU’s Internationalization Strategy
• Key Milestones
The founding of KANOU Singapore at the end of 2022 and the formal rollout of the global strategy in April 2023 represent major milestones in the company’s international expansion. These actions reflect KANOU’s keen insight into global market opportunities as well as its firm determination to grow its international presence.

• Supply Chain Construction and Integration
KANOU has actively built and integrated supply chain resources across Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia, offering customers a “China + 1” supply chain solution. This approach helps reduce risks, increase supply chain flexibility, and improve responsiveness to diverse customer needs.
