Bankio Pharmaceutical Factory Tour

A manufacturer of skin care drugs, as well as ointments, creams, liquid products for external use, nasal drops, and anti-rhinitis capsules-both under its own brand and as private label.

After the catastrophic 1995 earthquake that destroyed the headquarters and plant, the company resumed operations from scratch and today has 4 production units and 170 employees.

The philosophy "Employees are the company's most valuable asset," BANKYO in fact means "with everyone's contribution." The company management is committed to promoting gender equality and respect for all, men and women, at work as well as promoting training and professional development.

The company was awarded the Japan Grand Prix as one of the companies with the best Management.
