KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA -
Media OutReach Newswire
- 27 July 2026 - NITORI Malaysia and Alpro Group have entered a
strategic collaboration under the shared theme of "Healthy Living Starts
at Home", combining NITORI's expertise in supportive living
environments with Alpro's focus on preventive healthcare and community
wellness.
Founded in Japan, NITORI is one of Asia's leading home furnishing and
lifestyle retailers, known for offering functional, thoughtfully
designed, and quality products that enhance everyday living. Meanwhile,
Alpro Group is one of Malaysia's leading integrated healthcare groups
with more than 300 touchpoints nationwide, focusing on preventive
healthcare, personalized health support, and accessible healthcare
solutions for Malaysian families.
The collaboration reflects a shared belief that health is not limited
to medical treatment alone, but also begins with the environment people
live in every day, including sleep quality, comfort, hygiene, stress
management, and daily lifestyle habits.
As the first phase of the collaboration, both parties will focus on
the growing topic of sleep health, in response to increasing concerns
surrounding poor sleep quality and mental wellbeing among Malaysians.
According to findings from the National Health and Morbidity Survey
(NHMS) 2023, approximately 2 in 5 Malaysians do not get enough sleep
daily, while studies among Malaysian working adults reported that more
than 50% sleep less than the recommended 7 hours per night. Sleep
deprivation and poor sleep quality have also been associated with
stress, anxiety, fatigue, poor concentration, emotional burnout, and
long-term health risks such as cardiovascular disease and depression.
Through this collaboration, Alpro will focus on preventive
healthcare education, sleep health awareness, and professional guidance,
while NITORI Malaysia introduces supportive home living solutions
designed to improve sleep comfort, sleep hygiene, and overall living
quality. An additional key element of the collaboration will involve
support from Alpro Health, the corporate wellness arm of Alpro Group,
which includes access to clinical psychology expertise, mental wellness
screening initiatives, and preventive health education programs to
further strengthen public awareness surrounding stress, emotional
wellbeing, and sleep health.
Building on these combined efforts, both parties are also exploring
sleep health workshops, educational initiatives, and community
engagement activities aimed at increasing public awareness on the
importance of quality sleep and healthy living environments.
Mr. Maezawa Yuta, Country Store Manager of NITORI Malaysia, shared:
"At NITORI, we believe that quality living begins at home. Through
this collaboration with Alpro, we hope to support Malaysian families not
only through functional and quality home products, but also by
encouraging healthier lifestyle habits and starting with greater
awareness on the importance of sleep and wellbeing."
Ph. Lim En Ni, Chief Pharmacist & Customer Engagement Director of Alpro Group, said:
"Many Malaysians underestimate the impact of sleep on physical
health, emotional wellbeing, and overall quality of life. Preventive
healthcare is not only about treatment, it is also about creating
healthier daily habits and environments. Through this collaboration with
NITORI, we hope to make supportive living solutions and sleep health
awareness more accessible to communities nationwide."
This collaboration reinforces Alpro's long-term commitment to
preventive healthcare by empowering Malaysians with better health
awareness, early intervention, and healthier lifestyle habits. At the
same time, it reflects NITORI Malaysia's philosophy of enhancing
everyday life through functional home solutions that support comfort,
quality, and overall wellbeing.
Moving forward, both organisations aim to progressively expand the
collaboration into broader healthy living categories and customer
engagement initiatives. Together, NITORI Malaysia and Alpro Group
believe that healthier living begins with a better home environment
because true "Healthy Living Starts at Home".
