A Message from Shiono
Shiono Chemical Co., Ltd. has remained committed to contributing to society by delivering high-quality pharmaceuticals with an unwavering focus on quality, efficacy, and safety, always placing patients’ health and well-being first. In recent years, as the healthcare environment undergoes significant changes, we have also dedicated ourselves to researching and developing self-medication products that empower individuals to manage their own health.
In this era of longevity, where life expectancy approaches 100 years, our mission is to build a solid foundation for lifelong health. Guided by the belief that “Health is the foundation of everything,” we will continue to monitor the direction of national healthcare and create value that only we can deliver. Through comprehensive healthcare solutions centered on generic drugs, OTC medicines, and active pharmaceutical ingredients, we will keep supporting everyone’s health.
Since our founding, we have embraced the philosophy of employee development: “Play hard to nourish the heart,” “Learn deeply to nourish the mind,” and “Work diligently to nourish life.” With this principle at our core, we remain united as a trusted partner, committed to delivering positive momentum to people’s lives through healthcare.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and guidance.
