Its business areas are diverse, such as polymer raw materials, functional materials, eco-life science related and medicine. Business activities in each area are not limited to global trade, but start from that, we are also spreading into the areas of investment and lending to companies in and outside Japan, manufacturing outsourcing, partnerships with overseas supply sources and venture companies, technology licensing, etc. For example, in the pharmaceutical business, in addition to the import of high-quality drug substance, intermediates and drug products, the company owns a laboratory (laboratory) and handles quality control operations, safely and stably domestically. We have established a system that can supply raw materials and products to pharmaceutical companies.
