Kanebo, Ltd.
 PROFILE
Kanebo makes something for everyone. The company produces cosmetics (which account for over one-third of sales), toiletries, men's and women's fashions and accessories, pharmaceuticals, and food. Its products run the spectrum from T'estimo, a smudge-proof lipstick, and Coccoapo A, an over-the-counter drug for the treatment of constipation and obesity, to such wonders as Bellabeton, intended to stop blurry vision and frequent urination. Kanebo, formed in 1887, has facilities in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. Most of Kanebo's sales occur in Japan, but the company has plans to increase its presence abroad. It spun off its textile division and sold its chemical operations in 1999.
