With the massive beauty and personal care industry showing no signs of letting up, cosmetics companies are updating their strategies to serve a larger consumer base with more targeted needs. To deliver every demand without compromising quality and business stability, beauty companies are increasingly relying on original equipment and design manufacturers (OEMs/ODMs) to conduct research and development (R&D) activities and meet production requirements.
Japan’s No 1 cosmetics ODM, Nihon Kolmar, persistently strives to meet each of its 400 clients’ needs and wants. Founded in 1912, the Osaka-based company has been serving leading cosmetics companies in Japan and worldwide.
“Client-companies use our facilities for R&D and factories while they focus on marketing and selling their products,” says Tomoji Kanzaki, chairman and CEO.
Nihon Kolmar exudes second-generation owner Kanzaki’s passion for creating distinct, high-quality products. As an advocate of “open innovation”, the cosmetics specialist combines innovative skills with client-companies’ know-how to help customers send new products to the market more quickly and efficiently.
“We improved our manufacturing technology and skills to be a reliable one-stop shop for customers”
“We develop our own know-how to sustain the business,” Kanzaki says. “We keep improving our manufacturing technology and skills to be a reliable one-stop shop for customers.”
