Track Record of Overseas Supply of Pharmaceutical Raw Materials

We often receive inquiries from overseas pharmaceutical manufacturers who face challenges in sourcing raw materials that comply with the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) or other Japanese standards such as the Japanese Pharmaceutical Codex (JPC) and the Japanese Pharmaceutical Excipients (JPE). To address these needs, we are committed to the global supply of raw materials that meet a range of regulatory requirements.

Product Portfolio

Our CertiPro Series includes products listed in JP, JPC, and JPE. In addition, we also provide products that conform to the specification in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur., EP), making them suitable for pharmaceutical development and manufacturing in different global regions.
