The Merits of Contracting Manufacturing with OPF

Our contract manufacturing services greatly contribute to our client companies through lower costs of manufacturing equipment and others, a shorter time for development and establishment of manufacturing process, the provision of high-quality and stable products, and formulations using new technologies. We are also flexible in response to orders such as small-lot production and requests to keep from missing the right market timing.

Currently we manufacture products on contract for a large number of pharmaceutical companies. We produce a wide range of pharmaceuticals such as antibiotic kits using our independently developed Otsuka multi-chamber bag system, small-capacity plastic ampules, various types of premixed soft bags, as well as external preparations such as ointments and creams. We also manufacture on contract for our group companies, utilizing a particular strength of the Otsuka Group. For example, J.O. Pharma, a subsidiary of OPF, manufactures prefilled syringes. OPF handles all inquiries related to these products and provides support for contract manufacturing.
