PIGEON was founded in Japan in 1957 by Yuichi Nakata with the aim of meeting the needs of mothers worldwide by producing a range of high quality, durable and user-friendly merchandise for babies and toddlers.

Since it began, the company has grown steadily and has a strong brand presence in more than 40 countries, with subsidiaries in Singapore, China and the US. Today, PIGEON is a market leader in baby and mothercare products. Besides producing bottle teats, the company produces pacifiers, breast pumps, baby toiletries, disposable diapers, baby wet wipes and toys as well as a range of products for senior citizens.

PIGEON places strong emphasis on research and development, and conducts extensive studies in product development. PIGEON's main R&D factories are located in Japan and Singapore.

PIGEON's extensive research and development efforts have been recognised through a number of awards.

• In 1962, PIGEON received the Tokyo Invention Prize for its innovative improvement to the design of nursing bottles which enabled easier nursing of babies.
• In 2002, PIGEON's work with specialists in oral development led to the new design of orthodontic pacifiers. This product was recognised by the Japan Good Design Award, bestowed by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organisation.
• In 2004, PIGEON's highly flexible baby shoes with special footcare qualities won the Japan Good Design Award for its innovative design in helping babies develop proper walking habits.
• Launched in 2002, PIGEON's new peristaltic nipple design was a first in baby products. Exclusively designed by PIGEON in collaboration with renowned doctor Yoshihiro Hayashi, this new product was the first to closely resemble a mother's breast.

During bottle-feeding, the peristaltic nipple is designed to stretch and change its shape to one that is similar to the shape of a mother's nipple. Using high quality silicone and unique PIGEON technology, this product has helped many babies transit easily from breast-feeding to bottle-feeding.
