The TAKAGI way

Ease of use, ease of assembly and fuss-free, reliable operation of our devices are as important to us as functionality and precision. We want to enable users of our instruments to focus fully on their patients, not on the tools they are using.

At the same time, restoring vision is about giving back the ability to see beauty, which is why we take pride in making our devices beautiful too.

A history of craftsmanship and innovation

TAKAGI has a long history of advancing eye care technology, with innovations that make a genuine difference to ophthalmic practice.

For example, we were the first (in 1976) to introduce a slit lamp with a vertical movement ring that could be operated with one hand, launched the world’s first electric zoom photo slit lamp (in 1986) and developed the world’s first LED slit lamp with concealed cables (in 2014).

Over the decades, TAKAGI’s facilities in Nagano have been kept at the cutting edge of precision manufacturing, complementing the personal skill of experienced craftsmen and engineers with advanced manufacturing technology, tight process control and rigorous quality testing.

Most recently, the opening of a new factory in 2018 has created a sophisticated manufacturing environment that controls temperature and humidity as well as preventing vibration to allow TAKAGI’s skilled craftspeople to make, assemble and check instruments of outstanding quality and precision.

Supporting a family of distributors in Europe and Africa

TAKAGI Europe is aptly based at the new state-of-the-art redevelopment of the former Manchester Royal Eye Hospital, right next to the new eye hospital complex.

From here, we support distributors and customers across Europe and Africa with sales and aftersales services, as well as comprehensive technical support and training. A limited selection of accessories and consumables is available directly through our online shop.

Our brand-new showroom is equipped with our latest products and is available for immersive training events for ophthalmologists and other eye care professionals.
