Pigeon Corporation at its Board Meeting held on January 15, 2018, approved organizational changes. To enhance transparency regarding responsibility for business results and encourage quick decision-making in business management, the company has reorganized its international operations. A new division, the Lansinoh Business Division, is now in charge of Lansinoh-brand operations, which the Pigeon Group conducts primarily in Europe and North America. This move renders the Lansinoh business independent from the jurisdiction of the Overseas Business Division. The Overseas Business Division has been renamed the Singapore Business Division. The Singapore Business Division will focus on Pigeon-brand operations, particularly in the ASEAN and Middle East regions.
