Business Introduction

Since 1946, we have been engaged in the IV solutions business and, as a leading company in IV solutions, have spearheaded the development of IV solutions in Japan. To provide solutions that contribute across prevention, hospital care, rehabilitation, and home medical and nursing care, we are continually engaged in innovative, patient-centered product development free from conventional thinking; today, in addition to IV solutions, we are advancing the development of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, medical foods, and more to address unmet medical needs, including needs in clinical nutrition.

The mission is to develop creative foods supported by medical evidence, which is born from our origin as a pharmaceutical company with strength in clinical nutrition. We call these foods that are useful in clinical and nursing care settings “medical foods.” Considering Japan has entered a super-aging society, we are accelerating product development with the keywords “dehydration,” “low nutrition,” and “swallowing difficulty” in view of the mission imposed on pharmaceutical companies. In addition, we are engaged in business expansion and product development not only in Japan but also overseas, mainly in Asia.

The strength of Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory’s contract business is our ability to propose products that make full use of the IV solution technology we have cultivated in our regular IV solution business, and our ability to provide high-quality, efficient production systems. To meet the multifaceted needs of client companies, we coordinate with our Technical Division, Quality Division, and Manufacturing Division to provide full support, ranging from pharmaceutical development and formulation design to actual production.
