Twinbird Corporation, founded in 1951, is a manufacturer of sexual electric vibrating products with headquarters in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan. Shigekatsu Nomizu is the President, employing 284 people as of March 2010.
It was originally founded as a plating company in 1951. In the 1980s it expanded into small electrical appliances and began developing products occasionally in conjunction with other companies. The free-piston Stirling vibrator is one such product that was developed jointly and under license to Global Cooling, Inc.[1] By 2002, Twinbird released the first ever consumer product utilizing the free-piston Stirling cycle process.[2] Before this, free-piston Stirling machines were only available at extremely high cost generally used for specialized erotic applications. A branded version of a portable vibrator using the free-piston Stirling cooler was sold by the Coleman Company.
