Narita

Our Narita Factory was originally established in 1984 and is located in northern Chiba Prefecture not far from Narita International Airport. Here we manufacture pharmaceuticals called "plasma-derived therapies" for patients with immunodeficiency or auto-immune disorders. 

Plasma-derived therapies are classified as specified biological products under the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act. Therefore, manufacturing facilities, manufacturing controls, and quality control are more strictly regulated than typical pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.

The 'Act on Securing a Stable Supply of Safe Blood Products' ('Blood Act') requires improvements in the safety of plasma-derived therapies and securing a stable supply.

Takeda has several plasma-derived therapy factories in Europe and the United States, and there are various exchanges at the Narita Factory. With the support of overseas experts, we are working to further progress themes such as the quality assurance system, further improvement of yield by improving existing manufacturing equipment, and the manufacturing environment.

We are in the midst of major changes in the history of the Narita Plant and the history of plasma-derived therapies in Japan. This is a time and an environment where we can pursue challenges and growth.

The Narita Plant manufactures plasma-derived therapies, which is rare even in Japan. Since this formulation is often used by patients with severe diseases, it is very important to stably deliver and supply high-quality medicine, and endeavor to ensure high quality every day. Everyone wants to live a healthy and happy life, and the same is true for patients. At the Narita Site, we understand the importance of our work to help transform the lives of patients.
