Features of the Iwate Plant

A green parkland plant in harmony with the natural environment

The Iwate Plant manufactures various types of product groups. It is located in Hachimantai, Iwate Prefecture roughly 600 km from Tokyo and around 40 km north-west of Morioka. It has views of Mount Iwate to the south and the mountains of the Towada-Hachimantai National Park to the west. It is blessed with an environment that has pure water and great natural beauty throughout the changing seasons.
The Iwate Plant has roughly 450,000 m2 of land. Stage 1 of its construction was completed in 1978, and the plant came into operation in 1979. Since the completion of Stage 2 in 1981 and Stage 3 in 1985, the Iwate Plant has operated as our Pharmaceuticals and Enzymes Business production base. Stages 4 and 5 of its construction were carried out in 2000, setting up a production system for pharmaceutical intermediate related items, with an emphasis on optically active substances.
In addition, the Iwate Plant has in place the cGMP control system required for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. We have several items registered with the American FDA, and have undergone a number of inspections since 1984 in which we have received high ratings.
We are moving forward steadily with environmental measures. Following the agreement on environmental pollution control concluded with Hachimantai (Matsuo-mura), Iwate Prefecture in 1977, our anaerobic treatment facility was completed in 1992. The aim is to be an environmentally-friendly plant, and we acquired ISO14001 certification in the spring of 2001.
