History The founder of MANI, Mr Masao Matsutani, started the business at Takanezawa in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, on May 1, 1956 and established MATSUTANI SEISAKUSYO CO., LTD, in 1959. After considering which industry would allow him to contribute to the world in spite of the firm’s rural location, he decided to engage in the medical field, where there were unmet needs. At that time, surgical needles made with steel were widely used in the medical field. However, rust caused a problem at the medical frontline, which he took particular note of. He therefore started research and development of 18-8 stainless steel eyed needles. A typical example of corrosion-resistant alloyed steel is stainless steel alloyed with chromium (18%) and nickel (8%). Consolidated subsidiaries *MANI Inc.
