Lumibird Medical has announced the rebranding of its Japanese subsidiary. Previously operating under the name Ellex Japan, the company will now be known as Lumibird Medical Japan, effective immediately. This rebranding marks a significant step in aligning the subsidiary’s identity with Lumibird Medical’s global vision and commitment to innovation in ophthalmology.
Founded in Osaka in 2003, the subsidiary has seen remarkable growth over the past two decades. In 2015, the company relocated its headquarters to Tokyo to better serve the Japanese ophthalmology market, further solidifying its presence and reach.
According to a company news release, the rebranding reflects Lumibird Medical’s dedication to advancing patient outcomes and expanding its expertise in ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment.
John Hsieh, President & Representative Director of Lumibird Medical Japan, emphasized the growth potential in the region:
“We have seen remarkable growth in the ophthalmic laser market. We are eager to expand further by introducing advanced ophthalmic ultrasound equipment and, as we look to the future, groundbreaking solutions for dry eye treatment. This rebranding represents our dedication to these opportunities for our customers, partners, and stakeholders thanks to the same trusted team and exceptional support.”
Jean-Marc Gendre, CEO of the Lumibird Medical division, shared his enthusiasm for the rebranding:
“We are excited to introduce this new chapter for our Japanese operations. This rebranding underscores our ambition to strengthen our position in the ophthalmology sector in Japan and to bring cutting-edge solutions to our customers more efficiently.”
Lumibird Medical Japan will officially debut under its new name at the 129th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Ophthalmological Society, taking place in Tokyo from April 17–20, 2025.
