Pattonair Japan’s new permanent location in Nagoya signifies its commitment to local support for its growing customer base.
 
The move follows on from the establishment of Pattonair Japan as a Japan Trading Company in November 2018.  This represented a key development in the company’s global expansion strategy extending Pattonair’s footprint in Asia where it also operates a facility in Singapore and an office in China.
