05 Fastest introduction of Danish building materials
The impossible was done! Fastest and successful introduction of water free urinals to the Japanese market, competing with Toto and Inax, in less than one year!

Kim Pedersen was hired to introduce Uridan water free urinals to the Japanese market. Within less than one year, we had business with 4 of the 5 major general constructors (Shimizu Kensetsu, Obayasi Gumi, Taisei Kensetu and Kajima Kensetsu), the biggest food service companies (McDonalds, Skylark and more), public institutions (Shinagawa municipality office, Schools and universities), hotels, railway companies (JR, JR East, Sotetsu and more), stadiums and much more.
Test installations were made at all these companies. We had 30 distributors through out Japan, covering most of the country.
At the starting point, nobody believed it would be possible to enter the Japanese market with a competing product to an oligapolistic market where TOTO and Inax had 90% of the market. We showed it was possible.
