Creating value with the aim of "To be the best reliable API manufacturer".

In 1946, Kyowa Pharma Chemical started a business in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture. Since then, the company has been working on creating pharmaceutical production centered on our proprietary organic synthesis technology. Since 2007, as a subsidiary of Kyowa Hakko Bio Co. Ltd. of Kirin Group, Kyowa Pharma Chemical has been operating businesses in two domains: the pharmaceutical domain, where the company manufactures active pharmaceutical ingredients, and the health science domain (intermediate domain between Pharmaceuticals and Food & Beverages) that includes functional cosmetics. Also, from now on, we would like to realize our vision of "A leading API manufacturer in Japan” by focusing on the CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) business, which conducts contract manufacturing from the early stage of drug development.
Kirin Group has selected four key issues: "Health and Well-Being," "Community Engagement," "The Environment," and "A Responsible Alcohol Producer" as its initiatives to solve social issues and has compiled guidelines for each issue. We are working towards realizing the guideline for "Health and Well-Being" in particular. As a company whose core business is the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), we recognize that our business, which is delivering high-quality pharmaceuticals that support patients’ lives to our customers around the world, is an opportunity to achieve social and economic value.
We are planning to start the full operation of a pilot plant in the near future. The pilot plant will enable us to expand our opportunities to deliver our products to even more customers worldwide, starting with the CDMO business, which we will strengthen.
Kyowa Pharma Chemical will continue to strive "To be the best reliable API manufacturer" needed by customers, patients, and local communities to "nurture a healthier world and more smiles.”
