IBP International

What IBP International does

IBP International (株式会社IBP国際市場) is a Tokyo-based Japanese Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of health foods, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. The company operates four business divisions: Wholesale Supplements (bulk retail sales of supplements), Planning/Development (contract OEM/ODM services with formulation support), Medical/Healthcare (including operation of the Kokoro Shinjuku Acupuncture Clinic subsidiary), and Web Division (website construction services for client products).

The firm's core commercial proposition is small-lot, low-minimum-order-quantity OEM manufacturing, with a minimum order size of 100 units, which is positioned to serve small and medium-sized brand owners that cannot meet the larger batch requirements of major contract manufacturers. Its product catalog spans more than 100 active ingredient SKUs covering supplements, health foods, and cosmetics, supported by an in-house formulation and development function.

IBP International is a private B2B company operating exclusively in the domestic Japanese market. Its customer base consists of SMEs, healthcare and medical institutions, and consumer products companies. Pricing is project/contract-based, anchored by per-batch OEM production with small minimum quantities and supplementary retail distribution via the wholesale supplements channel. The company's last substantive disclosed corporate communications date to 2013, and there is no public disclosure of funding, revenue, headcount, partnerships, or leadership.
