President's Message

Harnessing nature’s gifts to
create a wellness lifestyle

Since its foundation in leather manufacturing in 1907 Nippi, using innovative technologies, has been committed to providing “products of the highest quality” based on our consistent policy of “utilize nature 100%”.

In the 1940s we began production of gelatin, a by-product of leather manufacturing, also known as a denaturation of collagen. In 1963 Nippi was awarded the world’s first patent for solubilization technology of collagen, which had long been considered insoluble. Since then we have led the way in the development of collagen products and casings, along with collagen-based skincare and supplements, and are currently exploring medical applications for collagen and gelatin including in regenerative medicine areas.

Aware of societal changes and with a focus on upcycling, we are planning to introduce beneficial novel products.

Yuko Ito, President
