Takeda Pharmaceuticals America, Inc.
Over two centuries ago in 1781, 32 year old Chobei Takeda started a business selling traditional Japanese and Chinese medicines in Doshomachi, Osaka, the center of the medicine trade in Japan. His small shop bought medicines from wholesalers, then divided them into smaller batches and sold them to local medicine merchants and doctors. This was the beginning of the present day Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd.
Chobei Takeda IV led other medicine retailers in turning his attention to Western medicine. He formed a cooperative union for purchasing Western medicines in Yokohama and began transactions with foreign trading companies. Western medicines imported at the time included quinine, an anti-malaria drug and phenol, an anti-cholera drug.
Takeda began direct imports from England, the U.S., Germany, Spain and other countries around 1895 and in 1907 obtained exclusive sales rights in Japan for products from German company Bayer. Thus, the business that began as a shop selling old fashioned Japanese and Chinese remedies steadily increased its selection of Western medicines, before shifting its basic orientation to Western medicine.
Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America is a new kind of pharmaceutical company. They are dedicated to serving patients by providing innovative products that improve their lives with better healthcare.
Their unique culture sets them apart. They are committed to patients, their employees and the community. They have an innovative, entrepreneurial spirit combined with the rich history of their 220 year old parent company.
Headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago, the company is a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, Japan’s largest pharmaceutical company. With more than five years of service in the U.S., they have grown rapidly and each step of that growth remains true to the company’s integrity, heritage and people.
