Astellas Pharma

Overview:

[$v$] Astellas is the brightest spot in the pharmaceutical industry – not only because of what we do, but also the way we do it. Together, we shine! The Astellas Story: Launched in April 2005, Astellas was formed by the historical merger of Japan's third and fifth largest pharmaceutical companies - Yamanouchi, founded in 1923, and Fujisawa, founded in 1894. Both companies possessed similarities where it matters most- philosophy and vision. But the companies also differed where it matters most - areas of therapeutic concentration and expertise. Yamanouchi brought a record of developing blockbuster drugs, a pipeline full of promising new compounds like Fujisawa, a sales and marketing culture of deeply grounded, data-driven expertise. Fujisawa brought dominance in transplantation, a soaring reputation for in-depth understanding of the disease states and treatments within its market niches, and a track record for developing high-profile, market-leading products that become new standards of care. With an unrelenting commitment to R&D as a value-creating core of its business, Astellas is consolidated around complementary strengths from Yamanouchi and Fujisawa. Astellas stands on a much stronger, more advanced business platform than either of the former companies could have mounted individually. Our story does not stop there: Astellas’ Business Philosophy is to contribute toward improving the health of people around the world through the provision of innovative and reliable pharmaceutical products. Our Vision is to become a global category leader in our specific product areas: Cardiology, Dermatology, Dermatology, Infectious Disease, and Urology. We are well on our way! Since inception in 2005, our growth has been impressive - we have expanded our sales force three times – and we anticipate continued progress, our product pipelines is robust and we remain excited over future product launches. As we work together for a better and brighter tomorrow, our Business Philosophy will become reality through the dedication and effort of every single Astellas employee. So, if you are looking for a company where you can change a life, make a dream come true, and light the way for a better and changing tomorrow, Astellas is the place where you can shine.
