ITI

What ITI does

ITI (アイティーアイ株式会社) is a Nagasaki, Japan-headquartered medical device and industrial machinery distributor founded in 1966, operating as the flagship subsidiary of private holding company IVS Holdings. ITI's comprehensive medical business is organized into seven specialized divisions — extracorporeal circulation (dialysis), vascular/rhythm management, minimally invasive medicine, diagnostic imaging, home healthcare, ME (medical equipment) engineering, and facility planning — supported by an in-house ME Center for equipment repair and rental, an Ostomy Call Center serving patients directly, a 24/7 visiting nursing station (いきいきらいふ), and the Medical I-Tech Station training facility in Fukuoka. The company serves hospitals, university medical centers, and clinics across Kyushu, Okinawa, Yamaguchi, Kanto, and Tohoku, while its industrial machinery arm sells sensors, clean-room equipment, and environmental systems to semiconductor and heavy-industry customers.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time medical equipment and consumables sales, recurring equipment rental and maintenance contracts, professional services (ME repair fees of ¥1,000–¥14,000 per unit), home healthcare insurance billings, and distribution fees as an Askul catalog agent for office and medical supplies. ITI supplements distribution with proprietary branded products including the ET-RO dialysis water purification system and ParaClear pH5 (Japan's first peracetic-acid dialysis cleaner meeting sewerage pH standards), plus wearable actigraphy products from UK-based CamNtech (MotionWatch 8, ActiHR5). The company has expanded through sustained M&A — absorbing regional distributors (Act 2014, JMS 2015, Chuo Family 2019, Mikuni 2019, Kamijo/C-Mecc 2022) — and reached a 2026 management integration with J-C.T. under IVS Holdings, with the group reporting ¥109.2 billion in combined sales and 1,012 employees as of June 2022.
