History

Neutrogena Corporate Office

Neutrogena was founded as small company called Natone in 1930 by Emanuel Stolaroff. This Swedish company began expanding into retail markets until Stolaroff met a chemist named Edmond Fromont, who bought the rights to this mild, clear soap which kept complexions clear and did not dry the skin. The name change came in 1997 when the son in law of Stolaroff became president of the company in 1967.

Today, Neutrogena is owned by Johnson & Johnson, who purchased the company in 1994 for $924 million. The company makes soaps and creams which either fight wrinkles or fight acne, as well as a line of cosmetics, sunscreens, hair products, and items for the bath.

Neutrogena products are considered to be premium products that are in high demand in more than 70 countries including Canada, the UK, India, and South Korea. The company has headquarters in Los Angeles, California.

Shirokiya Corporate Office

Shirokiya was founded in what is now Tokyo, Japan, in 1662 by Hikotaro Omura. This is one of Japan’s oldest retail stores. The original name, Shirokiya Gofukuten, would last for several hundred years. The company started off as a dry goods store, but over time, it expanded and added clothing and other popular items. By 1903, the company had several locations.

The earthquake of 1923 destroyed the original store and a fire in 1932 engulfed another location. Word War II took most of the owners’ assets, however, the company began to use common Western marketing techniques to obtain more sales and this enabled the company to rebuild.

To avoid a hostile takeover, the company was sold to the seven executives of the store in Hawaii. Today, this is the only remaining store, however, this store has been extremely successful, with more than $40 million in revenue in 2007.

Shirokiya offers almost all things Japanese including beer, meals, snacks, gifts, cosmetics, jewelry, books, DVDs, cakes, fashion eyewear, and massage items.
