ASHIKAGA Plant

Our plant is located in Ashikaga City, in the southern part of Tochigi Prefecture, an area with a climate suitable for production and a location convenient for distribution. The plant boasts production volumes of cysteine for pharmaceuticals and its derivatives, and L-tyrosine for infusion use, that are among the largest in the world. To ensure stable quality, steady supply and low cost, we endeavor to maintain operations at or above the GMP level and have established a quality assurance system that meets the highest world standards. In addition, we have acquired ISO14001 certification and give top priority to keeping the plant healthful, safe and environmentally friendly.

※GMP = Good Manufacturing Practice
