- Pola Orbis Holdings Inc. is a Japan-based holding company primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, and sale of cosmetics and related products through its subsidiaries. The company operates in the Beauty Care segment, offering skincare products, cosmetics, makeup, health foods, and fashion items including women's underwear, apparel, and jewelry under brands such as POLA, ORBIS, Jurlique, H2O PLUS, THREE, DECENCIA, Amplitude, ITRIM, FIVEISM × THREE, and FUJIMI; and the Real Estate segment, which leases office buildings and residential properties while managing and operating buildings. Products are sold via department stores, directly operated retail outlets, duty-free stores, internet platforms, cosmetics stores, door-to-door sales, and mail-order channels, primarily targeting consumers in Japan, Asia, and international markets.
Founded in 1929 and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Pola Orbis Holdings maintains a multi-brand strategy to address diverse customer needs across prestige, mass, and niche segments in the household and personal products industry.
In recent developments, the company plans to dissolve its Chinese subsidiary Orbis Trading (Beijing) by the end of fiscal 2025 to streamline operations amid declining sales, expecting a special loss of ¥1.3 billion offset by tax savings of ¥1.6 billion; it revamped the management structure of group operating companies in January 2025; and reported flat net sales of ¥83.25 billion with higher operating income of ¥8.22 billion for the first half of fiscal 2025, driven by domestic cosmetics growth offset by weaker overseas performance particularly in China.
