The establishment of the facility follows the agreement between Bushu Pharma and Chuo Unyu in January 2021 to set up a storage area and a refrigerated room at the distribution center. At the same time, Bushu Pharma obtained a GMP-classified permit for storage of pharmaceutical products from Saitama Prefecture.

Bushu Pharma plans to set up a packaging suite at the center to carry out inspection, labeling and packaging operations in order to expand the clinical and commercial drug product packaging business. The center is scheduled to start operations in the summer of 2021.

Chuo Unyu is a wholly owned subsidiary of Suzuken Co., Ltd., a major pharmaceutical wholesaler, and its main business is the transportation of pharmaceuticals, medical machines/equipment, and other pharmaceutical-related items. The company has a wealth of know-how, experience, and advanced transportation technology as it relates to the distribution and storage of pharmaceuticals. With the setup of the inspection/labeling/packaging area for Bushu Pharma within the distribution center of Chuo Unyu and the integration of Bushu Pharma's technical capabilities with the know-how and experience of Chuo Unyu, Bushu Pharma will be able to increasingly provide prompt and reliable contract manufacturing services -- from production to delivery -- to pharmaceutical manufacturers.
