Aiming for the first store to be opened by Q4 2019, the expansion is expected to strengthen Innovus Pharmaceuticals’ Amazon profile presence in Asia, adding to its current achievements in the US, Canada and Mexico.

“This expansion of our Amazon sales to Asia through Amazon’s Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) shipping is a major step to globalise our direct sales.”

Innovus Pharmaceuticals’ president and CEO Bassam Damaj said: “We are delighted with the approval of our new Amazon store in Japan.

“This expansion of our Amazon sales to Asia through Amazon’s Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) shipping is a major step to globalise our direct sales without the need to continuously depend on finding local partners.

“The Japanese expansion of our Amazon stores follows the successful launches of our stores in the US, Canada, Mexico and the upcoming launches of our stores in Europe.”
