BLEZ Group

What BLEZ Group does

BLEZ Group, founded in Bangkok in 2012 as BLEZ ASIA Co., Ltd. by CEO Naoki Iida, is a privately-held Japanese-Thai healthcare services group that operates approximately 30 physical locations across Bangkok plus online channels. The core retail and clinical platform comprises 24 pharmacies (BLEZ Pharmacy), the first Japanese Kampo/traditional pharmacy in Thailand (BLEZ Traditional Pharmacy), two general internal medicine clinics (BLEZ Clinic), a dental clinic (BLEZ Dental Clinic), an animal clinic at Donki Mall Thonglor (BLEZ Animal Clinic), and a Thai massage outlet (Rak Siam Massage), with a flagship BLEZ Pharmacy Asakusa in Tokyo added in January 2024 to mark the group's Japan entry.

Underlying technology is light: a Shopify-based online store, the MySherpa Japanese-language online psychiatric counseling platform, the Pharm-Job pharmacist recruitment site, and a pharmacy POS/inventory system distributed through a partnership with CW Software. These sit on standard web and POS stacks rather than proprietary AI or clinical platforms; the group's differentiation rests on Japanese-language service delivery, community trust built over more than a decade, and ~600 Thai FDA-registered products.

The business model blends direct-to-consumer retail and clinical services, franchise royalties (e.g., YOUR PEACE PHARMACY), B2B wholesale of FDA-registered Japanese health products to major Japanese and Thai retailers, OEM contract manufacturing for Japanese supplement and beauty brands, Thai FDA application/registration services, POS system distribution, and corporate health packages including MySherpa online counseling. Strategic alliances with SBC Medical Group Holdings (aesthetic medicine, announced November 2025) and a joint venture with SUGI Holdings subsidiary S Trading (SUGI BLEZ Thailand, September 2025) anchor a buildout that targets ASEAN markets (Myanmar, Laos) and the projected ~US$1.1B Thai aesthetic medicine opportunity by 2033.
