About Pigeon
Pigeon is a Japanese mother-and-baby care brand that began in 1957 when Pigeon Honyuki Honpo, a nursing-bottle maker, was established in Chigasaki, Kanagawa. The company was renamed Pigeon Corporation in 1966.
For more than six decades, Pigeon’s research teams have focused on how babies suck, leading to nursing bottles, teats, breast pumps, sterilisers, baby skincare and products for mothers.
Pigeon is headquartered in Japan with subsidiaries in Singapore, Malaysia, India, Thailand, Korea, China and the USA. In Vietnam, IMV has been the official distributor of Pigeon since 2012.

The science behind the care
Starting from early observations of how babies suck, Pigeon built its own research foundation. In 1988 its researchers identified the peristaltic motion of natural sucking – the basis of the Bonyu-jikkan bottle with its soft, flexible nipple.
