dacco's historyhistory
Challenges we have risen to during the course of our long history
Osaki Medical was founded in 1936.
The company started out manufacturing and selling hygiene materials,
such as gauze and cotton pads.
Rising to the challenges posed by the medical care situation and the needs of the times,
it went on to develop a wide variety of products.
In 1955, a product was born, which changed the whole course of our company.
It began with a little complaint from a head nurse at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic.
She said it was hard work to prepare the cleansing cotton pads they used to wipe the genital area after birth.
Back then, nurses had to make the cotton pads by hand in between their busy duties attending to patients.
After listening to her complaint, we developed “Clean Cotton” cleansing cotton pads sealed in individual packs.
That was the moment when our approach of listening to the voices of front-line medical care staff took shape.
After that, we went on to create maternity pads to replace the ones that the nurses had also been making by hand.
Our maternity pads and cleansing cotton pads soon garnered praise and support from a number of medical institutions,
and the name “Osaki Medical” started to spread throughout Japan since then.
The need of medical care staff and mother does not change over time.
As time passes by, today we find Japan in an age of fewer and fewer children.
Childbirth is the most important event in a person's life.
We began to hear from more and more new and expectant mothers
who said they wanted to live a comfortable life during pregnancy and after giving birth.
“We want products that will make getting ready for childbirth easier.”
“We want products that will look good on today's mothers.”
The dacco brand was born from such voices in 2008.
dacco's signature "Maternity Set" is a stylish bag packed with a variety of goods for childbirth and newborn care.
It has been supported by vast numbers of mothers and medical institutions.
Today, the brand holds the No. 1 share among all the maternity sets available in Japan.
By now, it is trusted by mothers, babies and medical institutions not only in Japan,
but also in China, Indonesia and so on.
dacco will continue to listen to the voice of each and every customer,
and keep on striving to meet the needs of midwives and nurses,
mothers and their babies, too.

When I present our products, the point I focus on the most is conveying my passion for helping mamas and babies experience a joyous, easeful and comfortable childbirth.

It's such a rewarding job.
I want to keep on providing dacco products to mamas, babies, and staffs at hospitals and maternity centers, and bringing them joy, for times to come.
