History
The company was founded in Tokyo, as Nagamine Shoji Co. Ltd (永峰商事株式会社), becaming famous in the 1960s and 1970s for its line of celluloid toys and dolls and mechanical tin toys (Rolly Dolly, Elephant Merry-Go-Round, etc) which were sold under the brand name "Canelon".
Sometime after, the company changed its name to Canelon Co. Ltd. (named after its well known brand), producing mostly toys for babies, including several from the Miffy series of toys for children, sold by Sega Toys in Japan, like the Busy Gym.
In 2002 the company was acquired by Maruzen Co. Ltd (株式会社丸善) which had been investing capital in the company since 1989, becoming Canelon Chemicals Co. Ltd. (キャネロン化工株式会社).
