Respect Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture; CEO: Sadanori Ito; https://www.respect.co.jp/), which manufactures and provides OEM for organic plant fermented extracts with a focus on natural ingredients, announces that it has acquired the trademark for its original material 'Nano Bird Nest' (Registration No. 7022244).
## A material born from an encounter in Malaysia
The starting point was an introduction during a business trip to Malaysia.
When our company representative visited an acquaintance he had known for a long time, he was introduced to a representative from Glyken, saying, 'I really want you to meet them.'
Receiving an explanation about edible bird's nests on the spot and learning about the company's long years of continuous research, we developed a strong interest. We also toured a bird's nest house (a farming facility for bird's nests) locally and were deeply impressed by its scale and thorough management system.
Later, a representative from Glyken resonated with the evidence behind the plant fermented extracts we develop and our approach to product development, and gave us the words, 'With this company, we can entrust this with peace of mind.'
This encounter and trust have led to the deployment of Nano Bird Nest.

## What is Nano Bird Nest?
'Nano Bird Nest' is a material made by nano-sizing bird's nest, which has long been considered good for beauty and health. Nano-sizing is expected to improve absorption efficiency into the body, making it a raw material that can be applied to a wide range of fields such as cosmetics, health foods, and beverages.
This time, trademark registration was approved in the following five classes:
Class 3: Cosmetics, beauty serums, face care masks, etc.
Class 5: Dietary supplements, nutritional supplements
Class 29: Edible bird's nest, processed foods
Class 30: Tea beverages
Class 32: Soft drinks, drinking water
## Becoming a material loved for a long time, unswayed by trends
What our company values in the deployment of Nano Bird Nest is 'being a material that is not swayed by trends and can be continually patronized for a long time.'
While bird's nest has long been known as a valuable material, it is not yet fully recognized in Japan.
We consider it our mission to deploy it while carefully conveying the inherent value of the material, rather than just stopping at a mere image.
## Future developments
Centering on OEM manufacturing, our company offers Nano Bird Nest as a raw material and ingredient.
Currently, we are advancing the deployment of capsule products and have started trial manufacturing with a view to providing materials to the cosmetics field, such as beauty serums.
It can be utilized in product development and product planning in various fields such as cosmetics, health foods, and beverages.
