Hormone-related expertise cultivated since our founding
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 We are creating unique synergies through such means as taking pharmaceuticals originally made for humans and adapting them for use in animals.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.
