SpiderTech launches in Japan

December 16, 2010 — Nitto Denko Corporation of Osaka, Japan, co-developers and manufacturers the world’s original kinesiology tape, announced they have launched a full range of SpiderTech Pre-Cut, Ready-to-Apply products within their home market, bringing SpiderTech’s innovations back the market that launched this method of therapy more than 20 years ago.

Nitto stated that as the major supplier of Kinesiology Tape products and solutions in Japan via their NITREAT product line, SpiderTech products and education offered a dramatically enhanced usability, delivering a viable and scientifically advanced therapy to healthcare professionals and athletes who see the traditional method of kinesiology tape use as difficult and inconsistent.

Nitto Denko and SpiderTech have already collaborated on transferring the SpiderTech Education programs to the Japanese market, identifying and training practice leaders for the 2011 SpiderTech Japan Education program. Sales for SpiderTech in Japan are expected to reach 300 million yen in 2011.

“We’re very pleased to add Japan to the growing list of Global Partners for SpiderTech,” stated Michael Greenberg, President of SpiderTech Inc. “It is particularly exciting to see our tape material provider, the leading global provider of kinesiology tape products, embrace SpiderTech as the product and therapeutic methodology to expand in their home market.”
