Adex Ltd., Japan

The company started in technical and scientific translations primarily from Japanese into English, and eventually offered typesetting, printers mechanicals, design, planning and production of printed materials, slide shows (remember those?). videos, corporate advertising, corporate brochures, in-house magazines, and eventually launched website creation and operating services in the early days of the Internet. For two decades it was also the exclusive Japanese operator of BusinessWire PR newswire services. In a very much slimmed-down form, it now continues to serve a core of loyal customers who use the president's services on a more-or-less personal basis.
