Welzo, a Japanese agri-horticultural innovation company, has launched a wholly owned subsidiary, Welzo Singapore. By opening this new subsidiary, the company aims to expand into the Southeast Asian market and enhance its global business development.

The Singapore office will be a central hub for marketing and business development across the region and will focus on key areas. These include the import and export of agricultural products, feed ingredients, and pet supplies, the development of marketing strategies for Southeast Asia, building local partnerships to optimise the supply chain, and recruiting local talent.

Yoshifumi Kanao, president and CEO of Welzo, said: “Singapore is not just a gateway to Southeast Asia—it’s a global hub where innovation and agriculture can converge. With this new subsidiary, we aim to deliver high-quality Japanese products to local markets while building sustainable partnerships rooted in mutual growth. This marks a crucial step in our journey toward global co-creation.”

The company hopes its Singapore office will enable it to provide value customised to local requirements and promote collaboration with local communities.

Welzo is aiming to broaden operations in Japan and abroad. As the firm considers expansion prospects in nearby markets, it chose Singapore as the location for its regional headquarters due to its business environment and international connectivity.
