We would like to reassure all our European partners that TakaraTec’s long-standing “one distributor per country” policy will remain unchanged.
The new development regarding our joint venture with Grabo s.r.l. is focused purely on enhancing operational efficiency and service for the European market.
FUTURE TRANSACTIONS:
While all European distributors currently work directly with TakaraTec in Japan, from April 2026 onwards, transactions will be managed locally through Takara Europe. A detailed transition plan will be shared in early 2026 to ensure a seamless changeover.
KEY BENEFITS OF TAKARA EUROPE:
Faster supply and improved inventory management within Europe.
Reduced shipping costs and simplified customs procedures.
Stronger partnerships through dedicated local support.
Strategic synergies between TakaraTec (a Japanese manufacturer known for unique high-quality balloons like Aqua Balloons and ibrex series) and Grabo s.r.l. (a leading European foil balloon manufacturer) to create new value.
This joint venture reflects our shared commitment to long-term growth, operational excellence, and superior service for the European market. We look forward to building a stronger, more agile, and customer-focused organization for the future.
