Katsuki Yamada

We create safe and reliable medicine for a flourishing society.

Katayama Seiyakusyo, founded in 1922, is a contract manufacturer of chemicals for photographic paper, fine chemicals, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and intermediates.

We maintain a cGMP-compliant pharmaceutical manufacturing control system and fulfill the good manufacturing practice (GMP) inspection criteria of the US FDA, the EU AIFA (EMA), and Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency. As a pharmaceutical contract manufacturer compliant with the strict requirements of these three agencies, we have earned the acclaim and trust of numerous pharmaceutical firms. We have updated our quality policy to ensure we maintain the highest-quality operations as we continue to expand our facilities, strengthen our process development capabilities, and improve our technical services to further improve our quality, cost, and delivery (QCD) management and remain the best partner for creating medicine.

The business environment for the pharmaceutical industry is undergoing enormous change amid the current environmental issues, disease prevention measures, and production operation difficulties in the unstable international conditions. We are responding to those changes to maintain our status as a core contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) in the pharmaceutical industry providing support from process development at the initial stages of the drug development process to production scale-up studies, manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for investigational drugs, and post-approval support to ensure stable supply of APIs.

We are also using our advantage as a member of the Sakai Chemical Industry Group to take on new challenges arising from the current trends of change and diversification to do our part to support a flourishing society.

We look forward to the continuing support and patronage of our stakeholders.

Mission(Our Management Philosophy)

To achieve healthy lives and a prosperous society, we will:

Contribute to the creation of medicines through organic synthesis technologies

Provide new values through technological innovation in organic and inorganic chemistry
