Message from the President

In 1987, we entered the orthopedic medical device market by applying the advanced metalworking technology of Nakashima Propeller. Since its establishment, with the support of medical professionals and research institutes in various fields, we have developed products suitable for Japanese people and continue to provide them to many patients through medical professionals. We recognize once again that we offer products that have a heavy responsibility to function in the patient's body for a long time, and that we have the precious opportunity to be a part of the patient's life afterwards.

Although Japan is one of the countries with the longest life expectancy in the world, we recognize that extending healthy life expectancy is an urgent issue as many elderly people suffer from bone and joint disorders. In addition to financial problems in Japan and in the era of VUCA, the environment surrounding us is drastically changing and uncertainty is increasing, such as soaring cost of materials triggered by unprecedented natural disasters and turmoil in the global situation.

However, we view this situation positively as an environment filled with diversity, and we will continue to focus on our patients, firmly identifying what will change, what will not change, and what needs to change, and constantly and persistently combining the skills we have inherited from the past with a challenging spirit that does not accept the status quo, with new personalities and values we acquire. We aim to embody our slogan” From mobility to felicity” by providing value to patients, their families, and all those who are involved with us.

As one of the few companies in Japan with an integrated system from research and development to manufacturing and sales, we will continue to strive every day with high ethical standards and with our corporate philosophy in mind, for the realization of a society filled with infinite possibilities.
