History

A Business History of over 80 years since our foundingMuch like the sun sends its shining rays, our goal is to be a trustworthy and enlightened company that influences all of our customers within our local community.

History of Kinyo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Kinyo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has logged over 80 years since our founding,Toichiro Kitayama founded the company as Serve Pharmaceutical Laboratories in 1931.
Our company started out manufacturing Yamato’s home placement drugs.
In March 1947, the company was incorporated as Kinyo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
The origin of the company name (金陽) comes from its location on the south side of Mount Kongo (金剛) which is situated between Osaka Prefecture and Nara Prefecture.
Because the sun (太陽) shines brightly on the south side of Mount Kongo, large trees thrive in this location.
Our company took its name (金陽) from the first character in Mount Kongo (金) and the second character in sunshine (陽) with the notion that the company would thrive like the large trees basking in the sunshine of Mount Kongo.
Just like our name suggests, we aim to be an enlightened company, just like the sunshine.
We want to be an enlightened company that is trusted by consumers who use our products, suppliers, sales partners and all within our local community including our employees.

Our Contributions to Society Based on Nutritional Drinks

Our company got its start with placement drugs.
The concept of placement drugs has a history dating back to the Edo Period in Japan.
In an era when medical care was not readily available, the need for people to take charge of their own health is intimately tied to the current philosophy of self-medication.

The importance of self-medication is currently being advocated.
With the aging of our society and because of an increase in chronic illnesses　thought to be caused by environmental deterioration, there is an increased need for products consciously developed for the prevention of illnesses.
Our company strives to meet these needs by manufacturing trusted pharmaceuticals, quasi-pharmaceuticals, and health food products.

We continuously improve our technology to ensure that our products are able to meet the needs of maintaining and enhancing the health of all of our customers.
Based on our nutritional drink know-how and technology accumulated over many years, we are able to coordinate profitable nutritional drink businesses for our partners who entrust their manufacturing to us.
We have concentrated our efforts based on nutritional drinks in order to further contribute to the local community.
