Nikko Pharmaceutical supports the 'April Dream' initiative on April 1st and has positioned it as a day to share our dreams. This press release is to convey our dream to everyone.
Our founder, Masanobu Kanao, who had roots as a 'Toyama medicine seller,' took on the challenge of creating Japan's first elastic fabric adhesive bandage. After much trial and error, 'Nikkoban' was born in 1972.
It is durable, water-resistant, hard to peel off, and blends into the skin.
Our products, filled with the dedication of skilled craftsmen, have come to be chosen in various professional fields across the country, including fisheries, agriculture, medical care, nursing, food service, and civil engineering.
'I can forget about my injury and focus on my work all day.'
'I can't use anything else. I'll even go out of my way to find and buy it.'
'It’s like a lucky charm; just having it makes me feel safe.'
We now receive such feedback from our customers.
Every day, there are people working for the sake of others.
There are people who need what we make.
We want to be sincere to those thoughts.
From now on, and forever.
To deliver better things to you who work so diligently.
Supporting those who work.
