History

TaikiUSA traces its origins to the Taiki Group's founding in the 1930s as a family-owned sea sponge business in Japan, evolving into synthetic sponges, applicators, and brushes. Eluci International, later TaikiUSA, was established in 1987 to support US cosmetic brands, expanding into wet wipes and sheet masks. Key developments include the patented Tafre Fiber brush in 2010 and a new Research & Innovation center by the Taiki Group in 2017, with TaikiUSA relocating to a state-of-the-art facility.
