Belgian Building Material Manufacturer StoneTech Establishes Japan Office in Tokyo

Belgium-based StoneTech bvba established a Japanese subsidiary, StoneTech Japan KK, in Tokyo in June 2010. StoneTech developed a paving system for fast and cost-effective paving with natural stones.
StoneTech's core products include bluestones, which have a very small global output, and European antique paving stones (recycled from old stone pavements.) StoneTech Japan imports and sells these products to Japanese construction companies, construction materials suppliers and similar outfits. They will also seek commercial development projects and other opportunities in the landscaping industry and others.

To set up its Japan arm, StoneTech made use of JETRO's Invest Japan Business Support Center (IBSC) in Tokyo, utilizing free temporary office space, consultations with experts including corporate registration and tax matters, as well as introductions to an administrative scrivener, a certified public accountant and recruiting companies.
