Move today with
fun from around the world.
The lives of the makers, the nature they protect, the passion on development,
even the time they cannot hold in their hands, are contained in the products.
Each product embodies a challenge: to make today, and the future, better.
We seek out products born from the world’s most forward-thinking ideas
and deliver not only those creations, but also the new values they represent, to Japan.
We do not just import and wholesale products, but also create our own distribution system.
Through DTC, E-com operations and PR,
we create encounters with another world and enrich
people, the region and our planet.
Things that make every day joyful and the future brighter.
We embrace a concept called 4F+W.
The 4F stands for Fashion, Function, Fun and Future and W for Wellness.
Our approach includes developing product lineups, exploring sales channels, handling PR, and setting prices to suit the Japanese market.
Guided by a unified vision, we plan and operate stores, e-commerce, pop-up shops, and events.
Through encounters and communication with new brands, we also spread the brand's philosophy.
Total support for overseas brands in Japan.
ALCO provides a one-stop solution covering wholesale, shop and e-com operations, and logistics.
Through working closely with the logistics services of ALCO LOGISTICS LTD., a group company that shares the same philosophy as ALCO, to ensure smooth nationwide delivery of products.

Group logistics services
All products handled by ALCO are managed by our group company ALCO LOGISTICS LTD..
We seek to deliver our products to our customers in the most efficient way. In addition, we are also seeking eco-friendly logistics, using recycled materials and other sustainable resources, contributing to initiatives aligned with the SDGs. -
Direct Store Operations
Directly operated shops in major cities to promote the brand in Japan.
The brand message and new culture are conveyed through the unique influence of these stores.
For example, the outdoor brand Cotopaxi, which is handled by ALCO, started in Tokyo and has expanded to Osaka, Kyoto and Fukuoka.
Web magazine -ALCO Empower Days-, where we communicate our initiatives, including business projects, brand stories and environmental activities.
Creating a sustainable society through our business activities
The mission to "FAV OUT PLANET" is never-ending. That is why our mission at ALCO is to constantly question and pursue it. In order to continue developing into the future, we set specific KPIs and incorporate them into our business, from reducing ton-miles in our distribution and supply chain to continuous investment in local communities, society and the environment.
We will nurture and enrich the soil for long-term growth in order to realise a sustainable society where everyone can continue to be excited and smile.
