Terumo Corporation (テルモ株式会社 Terumo Kabushiki-gaisha?) was founded in 1921 by Dr. Kitasato Shibasaburō. The company's first product was thermometers and it has since expanded into a global largest medical devices manufacturer, producing a wide variety of products ranging from medical disposables, cardiovascular systems and diabetes care products.

In 1971, Terumo opened its first overseas office in the United States, marking its first overseas expansion.
