Spring Sales Mission to Japan

May 25-29, 2009

Organized by Washington State CTED and the Evergreen Building Materials Association (EBPA), our Japan Sales Missions have been an effective marketing tool for US housing and building materials manufacturers and exporters to Japan for over 10 years. They have generated over $45 million in sales while reaching more than 5,000 Japanese architects, builders, importers and distributors in over 50 cities throughout Japan. The program is a concentrated, low-cost activity for US building materials manufacturers, service providers, exporters and their Japanese dealers to showcase products and services to buyers and end-users.
