Production

Mochida Pharmaceutical Group's medical products are mainly manufactured by Mochida Pharmaceutical Plant Co., Ltd. ("MPP"). The Head Office Plant in Ohtawara, Tochigi Prefecture manufactures injectable, solid (tablets, capsules, etc.) and semi-solid (creams, ointments, gels, etc.) medicines. In order to properly implement product quality management and strengthen our manufacturing capabilities to ensure a stable supply, we are working to build a stable production system over the medium to long term, manage operational risks related to product supply, and enhance our product quality and safety management systems.

Production of High Quality Pharmaceuticals

MPP's production facilities meet requirements under Japanese Good Manufacturing Practice (JGMP) and international guidelines such as the pharmaceuticals Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines provided by the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention and Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S GMP). In addition, computer-integrated systems control all the processing stages, from the receipt of raw materials to final shipping, to ensure that all products are manufactured to the highest standards of quality.

State-of-the-art Drug Manufacturing Technologies

Like research & development, pharmaceutical manufacturing processes demand a high level of technological capability. We utilize decades of manufacturing know-how to provide technologically high value products such as the enzyme/protein preparations and biological products at which we excel and products which are considered difficult to manufacture such as freeze-dried injectables.
We also have dedicated areas, equipment and technologies for the manufacturing of solid dosage forms that require advanced encapsulation systems.

Packaging to Meet Healthcare Needs

In our production activities, we constantly strive to meet healthcare needs, and have introduced a definitive total quantity confirmation system with material code displays and a unified bar code system, to increase the efficiency of drug management. We also consider the healthcare settings in which our products are used and are focusing on initiatives such as the use of plastic bottles made from one type of material to facilitate sorting and disposal and the development of container designs with different shapes to prevent medical errors.

Contracted Manufacturing

Besides manufacturing Mochida Pharmaceutical Group's products, MPP is also involved in contracted manufacturing for other companies. Leveraging the experience built up as the manufacturing subsidiary of a pharmaceutical company, MPP reliably manufactures and supplies high quality products at reasonable prices, accommodating a wide variety of product specifications and scale requirements.
