Business Activities

Guided by our corporate philosophy of “Contribute toward the improvement of people’s health and progress in society through the development of innovative products,” the ASKA Pharmaceutical Holdings Group aims to grow and develop as a company that is trusted by society through its medical-related businesses, including its core pharmaceutical business, its animal health business, and the testing business.
We perform research and development of pharmaceuticals using the hormone-related expertise we have cultivated since our founding, with particular strength in healthcare for women and endocrine hormones. We are creating unique synergies through such means as taking pharmaceuticals originally made for humans and adapting them for use in animals. Another one of our strengths is in testing technologies that enable microdetermination. In each area, hormones are the foundation for conducting our business.

Since its foundation in 1920, ASKA Pharmaceutical has continued to research, develop, manufacture, and market hormonal formulations, enhancing their technologies and availability for patients.
Currently, we are strengthening our presence as a specialty pharma company to deliver more value-added products specializing in the three core businesses, "endocrinology," "obstetrics and gynecology," and "urology."

ASKA Animal Health operates under the corporate philosophy of "contributing towards the creation of a society in which people and animals can coexist in harmony by protecting animal health and food safety."
The business is based on the two pillars of the animal health business and animal feed additives business respectively, and contributes to producers and veterinary professionals, through the maintenance and improvement of productivity of livestock and marine products, which form the basis of food self-sufficiency in Japan. In addition the Company undertakes the research, development, manufacture, import and sale of animal health products that are beneficial for maintaining the health of companion animals, such as dogs and cats.

Based on its corporate philosophy of "contributing to the creation of a prosperous healthy society through the latest measurement technologies," ASKA Pharma Medical is developing its business with a focus on the examination and testing business.
As a member of the ASKA Pharmaceutical Holdings Group, leveraging the Company’s advanced technologies and extensive know-how created to date, we aim to contribute to a wide range of fields, including basic research, clinical research and diagnostics, centered on the measurement of steroid hormones and other bioactive substances.
