Our History

Over Four Decades of Clean-Water Innovation

In 1983, the president of Mitsubishi Rayon fell ill from contaminated drinking water during a business trip to Mexico. The incident led to the development of a hollow fiber membrane filter for the portable water purifier “Mashimizu,” opening the door to innovative household water filtration. The following year, the countertop water purifiers “Cleansui S” and “Cleansui D” were introduced to the market, and in 1989 Cleansui Petit, the first faucet-mount purifier in the series, became a runaway bestseller, driving the growth of our product line.
