THINKY

THINKY was founded in 1971 as a company manufacturing digital measurement i nstruments. We made inexpensive display devices using LEDs. THINKY's products proved to be highly popular, and by 1991 grossed over JPY890 million in sales.However, with the collapse of Japan's Bubble Economy in 1991, sales of industrial measuring instruments rapidly slowed. t was at this point that the company stumbled across a bright idea when one of the company directors heard from a dentist about a difficult issue in the dental industry. ith this idea in mind, THINKY developed mixers for dental paste used for fillings and artificial teeth.(For details, please see "Secret Story of Development.")The mixer garnered praise not only from the dental industry, but from a variety of other fields as well, including the ointment industry. As a result of this success, THINKY shifted its core business to producing mixers.
