Johnson Health Tech Expands to Asia
The largest fitness manufacturer in Asia and third in the world, Johnson Health Tech finally (JHT) arrives in the Philippines. After sweeping the markets with their Matrix, Vision and Horizon and making a name for themselves in the home and gym equipment, they have decided to embark on another journey that involves a target of 5 shops in the Philippines.
In 1975, founder Peter Lo handwrote 2,000 letters to American companies with the idea of building his own business. One responded to his letter, an exercise equipment business called IVANKO, and asked if he could make barbell pieces. Determined, Lo learned the necessary skills and knowledge and created Johnson Metal. Forty years after, Johnson Metal expanded to Johnson Health Tech, which is now in its prime after having found the sweet spot for fitness equipment, amazing quality at an affordable price.
Last Wednesday, June 21, they officially launched their 23rd subsidiary that is located at the business district, Makati. Katsuya Ito of JHT Philippines said that they are excited to provide turn-key solutions for fitness and wellness in the country that will focus on not just fitness clubs and the commercial markets but home use markets as well. Shops across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao are expected to be up very soon.
