PROFILE |
 |
Japan's top drug maker, Takeda Chemical Industries dates back to 1781, when its predecessor began selling herbal medicines. It makes and markets pharmaceuticals (such as indigestion treatment Prevacid), vitamins, food additives, and such chemical products as insecticides and wood preservatives. It is developing drugs for ulcers, prostate cancer, and diabetes. Takeda sells its products in some 100 countries, including the US, and has alliances with several firms, including a pact with Johnson & Johnson to sell Tylenol and other nonprescription drugs in Japan. German firm BASF and Takeda have combined their bulk vitamin operations. Takeda has agreed to pay a $72 million fine to the US for price-fixing vitamins.
