Founded by Kyoichi Tanaka, Menicon is Japan\u2019s first and largest contact lens manufacturer. A leading importer and exporter of soft and gas-permeable contact lenses and medical instruments, the company is also active in research and development of intraocular lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Represented in over 80 countries, Menicon SAS in France is the oldest subsidiary\/branch outside of Japan and the French market remains key to the company\u2019s success in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atsushi Yamashita, the first Japanese president of Menicon to reside in France, understands the needs of European partners and customers and is strengthening the Menicon team in France and expanding the sales network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMenicon has a long history in France and as a professional company, we are focused on supply-chain delivery, quality and price,\u201d Yamashita said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrance is a unique market in that only ophthalmologists can prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses and we are committed to meeting the expectations of our French partners and customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company is strengthening its operations for disposable lenses while continuing its business for rigid gas-permeable lenses, which make up the bulk of Menicon\u2019s business in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers tend to stay with Menicon as the company delivers lenses direct to customers upon request, a service that proved to be important during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to strengthening the company in France. Our plan for Menicon in the French market is to increase our sales across the board and strengthen our commitment to France.<\/p>Atsushi Yamashita<\/strong>, President<\/em> of Menicon SAS<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With a European distribution center in Offenbach, Germany, the company is investing in automation and improved inventory management to contribute to the company\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Menicon is also taking a holistic approach toward the prevention of child-myopia progression with a range of contact lenses and fitting software linked to an application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the sense of sight, Menicon sees opportunities in the areas of touch, smell, taste and hearing. With the company\u2019s Vision 2030 strategy and \u201dMiru\u201d (Feel) initiative, Menicon\u2019s future is based on \u201chaving fun and pleasure through the five senses and being empathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe look forward to strengthening the company in France,\u201d Yamashita said. \u201cOur plan for Menicon in the French market is to increase our sales across the board and strengthen our commitment to France.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
