Beauty Connection Ginza, Tokyo, Japan , July 28, 2022 - MTG Co., Ltd.（"MTG") is pleased to announce that it is collaborating with the world's No. 1 comprehensive motor manufacturer Nidec Corporation ("Nidec") and global diversified manufacturer Flex to bring to market a new ReFa hair dryer product, the ReFa BEAUTECH SMART DRYER. This model will be launched to global markets to introduce new forms of beauty to the world from Ginza, the cultural hub of Japan. Nidec will develop a new ultra high-speed, compact, low-noise motor optimized for MTG's new hair dryer. Flex will enable the design of MTG's innovative hair dryer and provide advanced manufacturing and supply chain capabilities with sustainable practices. MTG's flagship brand ReFa, created in 2009, began with a single beauty roller and surpassed 10 million units shipped* in 2018. ReFa's innovative products are not bound by stereotypes and seek to positively transform people's lifestyle.

In 2019, the tenth year since the brand was launched, MTG debuted its new "ReFa BEAUTECH" series, which reproduces the skills of professional Japanese hair stylists with its unique technology, and launched the "ReFa BEAUTECH DRYER" as its first product. This hair dryer, developed in collaboration with Japan's top salons, has been extremely well received and has greatly increased MTG's share in the Japanese hair salon market since its first year.
