One of our corporate philosophies at Suzuken is to create new value to contribute to improving health on Earth and to healthier and better lives for all people. In the spirit of this philosophy, we are forging ahead as a 'health creator' that can offer value in innovative ways across the extensive healthcare domain.

Taking a broad view of the medicine and healthcare domain, a variety of processes are apparent in each sector. For example, before newly developed pharmaceuticals are prescribed to patients, there is the process of discovering a chemical compound with pharmaceutical potential, developing and manufacturing a new drug, distributing it and prescribing it to patients. Meanwhile, individual health management is also subject to a process: that of disease prevention, health restoration, maintenance and improvement. And hospitals, clinics and pharmacies have their own processes of medical practice centering on disease diagnosis, treatment and the prescription of drugs.

We at the Suzuken Group are expanding our core pharmaceutical distribution business, and are offering new types of value within these medicine and healthcare processes to help people lead healthier, more rewarding lives.

Suzuken is a leading company in pharmaceutical distribution, safely and reliably providing hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and other customers with prescription pharmaceuticals, as well as diagnostic reagents, medical equipment and supplies. The Suzuken Group plays a central role in Japanese pharmaceutical distribution, with six Group pharmaceutical distribution companies, two specialist logistics companies, and sales offices in all 47 prefectures.

Suzuken is also offering other healthcare-related services, including those that facilitate medical treatment and individual health management. In doing so, it makes use of the valuable feedback its nationwide network provides from medical practitioners. Suzuken also draws on the capabilities of its corporate Group, including those of the pharmaceutical manufacturer Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co., Ltd., and the medical equipment manufacturer Kenzmedico Co., Ltd., as it continues to forge ahead as a 'health creator' that identifies and delivers new forms of value.
