KYOWA HAKKO BIO

Kyowa Hakko Bio’s bio-chemicals products are fermented bulk products, such as amino acids, nucleic acids, and related compounds. These products are widely used in applications such as pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical intermediates, foods and dietary supplements, and cosmetics. Due to mounting concerns over safety issues, consumers and society at large are increasingly calling for reliable supplies of high-quality products that are underpinned by quality assurance systems. In light of such concerns, Kyowa Hakko Bio continues efforts to maintain and reinforce relevant systems.

Kyowa Hakko Bio pursues three key strategies. The first strategy is to improve market standing by bolstering cost-competitiveness in amino acids by enhancing productivity through streamlining and production process innovations.

The second strategy is to strengthen health care operations which promise growth by exploiting the Healthcare Products Development Center to expand mail-order and OEM businesses by identifying consumer needs, developing products, and conducting planning and proposals.

The third strategy is to create businesses that will be mainstays of future earnings. Dipeptides and sugar chains, for which Kyowa Hakko Bio has developed groundbreaking manufacturing processes, are to become future earnings mainstays. In dipeptide operations, alanyl-glutamine will likely see increasingly heavy demand stemming from such applications as infusions, enteral nutrients, and so-called medical foods.
