The Nikken Story" - - A dramatic event occurred in the life of Mr.
Isamu Masuda during 1972. With the birth of his first child, this
peaceful man grew concerned about health — his own (Mr. Masuda had
been sickly as a boy), and the health of his family. Working as a
clerk in the public transportation industry, he had to stretch a
meager income. All this prompted him to look for a solution. He found
it in a public bathhouse that had pebbles on the floor to create a
natural massage effect on the feet. An idea was born. In cooperation
with Japanese scientists who had been studying magnetism, Mr. Masuda
developed the prototype for a shoe insert, incorporating the pebble
effect with magnets. And because of his interest in helping others
grow financially, he chose a little-known distribution system called
network marketing.
As a pioneer in the evolution of this new system and with one
unique product, Nikken came into being in Fukuoka, Japan, during March
of 1975, starting with two small desks and one telephone. In its first
four years of existence, Nikken became the fastest-growing network
marketing company in Japanese history.
Because Mr. Masuda recognized the importance of peace and joy, his
philosophy of balance in what he called the 5 Pillars of Health became
a crucial element in the company mission.
In 1989, Mr. Masuda selected one of his most trusted associates, Mr.
Tom Watanabe, to oversee the expansion of Nikken into North America.
Because of the exceptional growth under Mr. Watanabe’s supervision,
Mr. Masuda asked him to take the role of Chief Executive Officer of
Nikken global activities in 1991.
Now in more than 30 countries with over 30 million satisfied
customers, Nikken is recognized as a world leader in wellness. One
indication of the excitement experienced when one human helps another
find peace, joy and well-being is the 5A1 rating Nikken has received
from Dun & Bradstreet, the world’s leading provider of financial
information.
With its global expansion strategy and a 100-year plan to become
the largest wellness company in world history, Nikken has truly become
a vehicle to do battle against poverty and sickness. Recognizing that
the key elements of maximum health and the prevention of illness are
regenerative sleep, proper nutrition and regular exercise, the
company's research is constantly developing new products to address
the needs.
Nikken’s enduring appeal is that it addresses a universal interest:
it is a company for those who want to invest in good health.
