TowardPi Partners with Nikon Solutions to Enter Japanese Ophthalmology Market

What’s in store for eye care in Japan when a global leader in imaging partners with an innovator in OCT? 

TowardPi Medical (Beijing, China), a manufacturer of ophthalmic diagnostic and imaging solutions, has announced a partnership with Nikon Solutions, a subsidiary of imaging leader Nikon (Tokyo, Japan). 

This strategic agreement makes Nikon Solutions the exclusive distributor of TowardPi’s OCT products across Japan—a partnership that aims to bring the Chinese company’s popular innovations to the industry.

By teaming up with Nikon Solutions, TowardPi is hitching its wagon to a powerhouse with extensive experience in the Japanese market. Nikon’s established expertise and extensive distribution network provide a formidable foundation for TowardPi to deliver its technology to clinics and patients across the country. 

Nikon’s latest partnership with TowardPi complements a history of strategic acquisitions and impactful partnerships in eye care. 

In 2015, Nikon acquired Optos, a UK-based leader in wide-field imaging with its 200° range color fundus camera. Three years later, Nikon strengthened its position in Japan by integrating Chuo Sangio Co., a company with nearly nine decades of experience and extensive expertise in OCT installation and maintenance.

This legacy and unique understanding of the Japanese ophthalmology market make Nikon Solutions an intriguing partner for TowardPi’s expansion.

Better together?

Since its founding in 2007, Nikon Solutions has specialized in importing, exporting and selling advanced optical and medical equipment. Headquartered in Tokyo and operating through branches across Japan, the company manages premium brands like Optos in the Japanese market. Now, TowardPi joins this portfolio, becoming the third major ophthalmic device brand introduced by Nikon Solutions in Japan.

Nikon Solutions has already reportedly completed comprehensive training and certification for TowardPi’s products, ensuring a seamless integration into the market. Product registration in Japan is now underway, setting the stage for TowardPi’s official debut.

This partnership doesn’t just mark TowardPi’s entry into Japan—it could be a signal of change for the entire Japanese ophthalmology industry. With TowardPi’s technology and Nikon’s local expertise, this collaboration is expected to bring new options and advancements to eye care professionals and patients alike.
