Menicon Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 3-21-19 Aoi, Naka-ku, Nagoya City; Director, President and CEO: Koji Kawaura) announces that on March 30, 2026, it expanded the content of its 75th-anniversary special website (Japanese/English) and released a commemorative video.
Menicon celebrated its 75th anniversary this year, designating February 8, 1951, when founder Kyoichi Tanaka succeeded in the practical application of corneal contact lenses, as its 'Foundation Day.' Since our founding, we have valued every quarter-century (25 years) milestone, but we position our 75th anniversary as the starting point for new challenges toward the next quarter-century and our 100th anniversary.
The theme of the 75th-anniversary project is 'Wind of Challenge.' The entire group will unite to create a new movement and connect it to the next 100th anniversary. Through the anniversary project, we will accelerate our challenges for the future and further strengthen our efforts to address social issues such as suppressing the progression of myopia. Based on the philosophy inherited since our founding, Menicon will continue walking toward its next 100th anniversary while advancing technological innovation and global expansion.

## 75th Anniversary Commemorative Video: Special Movie Release
In conjunction with the release of the main site, we will release a 75th-anniversary special movie. In this movie, the history is depicted in a structure meant to be 'felt' rather than 'read.' In the beginning, it carefully conveys the beliefs at the time of founding and the origin of our thoughts. From the middle to the second half, it emotionally expresses our current global expansion and challenges for the future, starting from the precision rooted in Japanese manufacturing. The video is approximately 8 minutes long.
Menicon will continue to communicate its 75th-anniversary initiatives to stakeholders and advance its steps toward the next 100th anniversary.
