Organic Science Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takatoshi Kamata), which develops and sells healthcare products utilizing magnesium, is pleased to announce the establishment of its first overseas subsidiary, Organic Science Australia Pty Ltd, in Australia on March 23, 2026. This is the company's first overseas base, and it will now begin full-scale overseas expansion, starting with the Australian market.
## Background of Establishment: A Connection Born from an Encounter 18 Years Ago
The origins of our expansion into Australia lie not only in the fact that our COO, Nathan Coombes, is from Australia, but also in the personal connections of our CEO, Kamata.
It all began in 2008 with a chance encounter with two young men from Australia at an izakaya in Tokyo. At the time, they were visiting Japan during a trip around the world. Guiding them through Tsukiji, Asakusa, and Kamakura sparked a friendship that evolved into a close relationship involving friends and family. Through attending weddings and continuous interaction, Australia became like a 'second home' to him.
In 2025, the CEO's family of seven visited Australia, reuniting with eight local friend families. Their children also interacted, transcending cultural and language barriers.
This deep connection is one of the major reasons for choosing Australia as the first destination for overseas expansion.
## A New Challenge in a Health-Conscious Market
Organic Science develops healthcare products using magnesium, aiming to 'embed well-being into daily life.' Australia is known as a country where sports culture and health consciousness are deeply rooted, with a lifestyle that incorporates regular exercise and self-care.
For over four years, our company has supported the women's soccer club 'Iga FC Kunoichi Mie' as an official supplier. During our visit in March 2026, we reunited with Kurea Okino, a former player of the club who has been active on an Australian team.
Kurea Okino joined an Australian soccer team at the end of 2022. Despite the challenge of not knowing English, she achieved remarkable success, including winning the 'GOLD MEDAL' for the league's best player. Although she retired in May 2026, her challenging spirit has been a great source of encouragement for our Australian expansion.
Her words, 'It was because of my experiences of failure and setbacks in Japan that I was able to win an award in Australia,' resonate with the values that Organic Science holds dear. We will continue to support those who are not satisfied with the status quo and take new steps forward.
## Future Development
Through our magnesium products, we aim to spread Japanese quality and manufacturing technology to the world and demonstrate the power of Japanese products overseas. With the establishment of the subsidiary, we will advance our approach to sports culture enthusiasts, health-conscious consumers, and medical professionals in Australia. We will transform the bond that began with a 'once-in-a-lifetime encounter' into business strength, aiming for further growth in the international market. While continuing to learn through trial and error, we plan to build a solid foundation in the Australian market.
