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:
