A Word from Our Founder, Peter Lo
When I started Johnson Health Tech 50 years ago, I had a simple vision: to create high-quality fitness equipment that helps people live healthier lives. What began as a small idea has grown into a global company—one that stands for innovation, excellence and a passion for improving well-being.
I never could have done it alone. To our dedicated employees—now more than 9,000 strong around the world—you are the backbone of this company, and your hard work has made everything possible. To our customers and partners, thank you for believing in us and trusting us over the past five decades. Your support has shaped our journey.
As I reflect on these 50 years, I am proud of how far we’ve come, but I’m even more excited about where we’re going. The future of Johnson Health Tech is bright, and our commitment to building healthier communities, upholding the highest standards and pushing the boundaries of innovation has never been stronger. Here’s to the next 50 years of growing stronger together!
