株式会社ロジック

What 株式会社ロジック does

株式会社ロジック (Logic Co., Ltd.) is a privately held Kyoto-based cosmetics manufacturer founded in 1980 by Hideto Noguchi and reorganized under its current corporate name in 1992. Operating from a plant in Uji City (Kyoto Prefecture), the firm has accumulated 45 years of experience and a stated base of more than 7,000 client companies. Its business is structured around two complementary streams: (1) a B2B contract manufacturing (OEM/ODM) service covering the full value chain from product planning and formulation development through manufacturing, container and packaging procurement, regulatory filings, and delivery, supporting salons, esthetic clinics, and emerging cosmetics brands; and (2) a portfolio of proprietary original brands (hitoha / ひとは, COOL THUNDER / クールサンダー, 京うらら, 京のふんどくりーむ, コンフィチュール, STACTE FOR MEN, フェイスオン) sold primarily through the company's own online shop, Rakuten, POPUP retail events at major Japanese commercial facilities, and trade-show distribution. Customer segments span enterprise (salons, esthetic salons, brand operators such as 株式会社あしたるんるんラボ), education (Kyoto Subaru High School co-development), and end consumers (general skincare buyers). Approximately 50% of the 25-employee workforce is female, an explicit anchor of the company's product-development perspective.

Core technology centers on in-house natural-ingredient extraction (botanical selection through extraction), proprietary formulation recipes accumulated over thousands of discrete projects, and small-batch production capability starting at ~500 units, paired with regulatory compliance under the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act (Cosmetics Manufacturing Business License 26CZ008007 and Cosmetics Manufacturing and Sales Business License 26C0X00005, plus a 2010 Kyoto Prefectural Cosmetics Quality Control Supervisor designation). Distribution operates domestically through direct OEM sales, exhibition channels (Tokyo International Gift Show, CITEJAPAN, Organic Lifestyle EXPO), POPUP venues (Odakyu, Shibuya Fracas, Lumine, NEWoMan Yokohama, Lazona Kawasaki, Kyoto Isetan), and the Kyoto W.D.H. (Worlderful Deep Heritage) chamber-of-commerce project; internationally across the United States, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, China, and Canada, with 2026 multilingual product guides for the COOL THUNDER line signaling active cross-border commercialization.

The revenue mix is anchored by professional-services OEM/ODM contracts (the dominant stream across 7,000+ cumulative client relationships) supplemented by retail pricing on proprietary brand SKUs in the ¥880–¥3,850 tax-inclusive range. Marketing combines blog content, event-driven POPUP experiences, organic social (Instagram), and the Kyoto W.D.H. earned-media partnership. Leadership transitioned in 2023: Hideto Noguchi became Representative Director Chairman and Naoko Kawase became Representative Director President. The firm carries no public listing, no disclosed funding rounds, and no AI/ML capability statements.
