Shionogi & Co., Ltd.
 PROFILE
Shionogi & Company develops pharmaceuticals for human and veterinary use; products include a comprehensive line of antibiotics, cold remedies, hormone preparations, and diagnostic substances. The company also manufactures agricultural chemicals. As the Japanese health insurance industry deregulates, Shionogi & Company is focusing on licensing agreements with such overseas companies as AstraZeneca and Agouron Pharmaceuticals in order to develop products more quickly; it has also consolidated its drug wholesale operations into a single unit, Ohmori. The company, which faces government-imposed price cuts and increased foreign competition, has announced plans to launch a US-based drug-development subsidiary.
