Message from the President
I am pleased to present SEED Co., Ltd, the largest disposable lens manufacturer in Japan with around 32.5 million pieces of lens produced every month. SEED will celebrate our Diamond Jubilee in 2017. It has been close to 60 years since we began our research and development activities in the area of conventional hard contact lenses. We worked hard to develop RGP contact lens, later on becoming the first to launch conventional soft contact lens, and then manufacturing various types of disposable contact lens. Now, we regularly produce around 32.5 million pieces of lenses per month. We are currently expanding our 3rd production facility in Japan to further enhance our mass production capacity.
Now SEED brand is on the way to making its mark internationally. As of 2018, SEED products are available in 24 countries, including Japan, Mongolia, China, Hong Kong and Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Philippines and Vietnam. In Europe, our products are available in Nordic countries, Italy, and selected stores in London, UK. In 2017, we began exporting to India, Indonesia, Portugal, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Besides focusing on our own brand, we also supply products under OBL basis to Germany as well. We are continuously expanding our international footprints all over the world.
To maintain our competitive edge as an industry player, SEED not only retains its full line up of research and development activities, but also at the same time, continues to develop new material with superior performance. We are also continuously seeking opportunities for further growth by bringing in medical oriented contact lens with advanced manufacturing technologies.

Supporting Your Vision with Japanese Quality
The introduction of FEMS energy management system in our manufacturing plant also allows us to monitor and manage the effective use of electricity.
In addition, we have created eco-friendly technologies and facilities, i.e. the recycling of the plastics emitted from the manufacturing processes, and we are currently working on the conservation of global environment through various company activities.
To ensure the quality of the products, we are shipping only products that passed through our strict quality management system and thorough inspection.
Furthermore, using the two-dimensional code and ID tag, we also implemented an integrated management system for production and distribution. This enables all lenses to be traced.
In addition, we have obtained the certification of IS013485, which is the international standard of quality management systems for the medical devices. This has further strengthened our quality control system.
