ROHTO Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. celebrates its 125th anniversary in February this year.
This is a testament to our esteemed customers and business partners' sincere support and cooperation for many years. With our profound gratitude to all of you, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a better society.
On the occasion of the 125th anniversary, we are pleased to announce our new corporate slogan, “Moving the Heart,” and the new corporate logo.
The renewed slogan and logo represent the values we have cherished for more than a century and our philosophy for the coming new era.
Since the inception of our business in 1899, our primary focus has been on over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, including gastrointestinal, eye drops, and dermatological drugs (like Mentholatum.) In and after 2000, we expanded into the skincare segment, developing brands such as Obagi, Hada-Labo, and Melano CC series. More recently, we have ventured into advanced regenerative medicine, primary industries such as agriculture, and food and restaurant businesses.
As declared in the “ROHTO Group Comprehensive Management Vision 2030—Connect for Well-being,” we are determined to offer “Well-being” to people and society through “health,” which is our core value. Despite many challenges, we have strived to embark on new business domains as social issues and customers’ needs and preferences have changed over the years.
Every member of ROHTO will work vigorously with a sense of vocation and turn our passion into a driving force to push society in a better and brighter direction.
Today’s world has seen the acceleration of automation and efficiency by AI technology. These enormous changes have made us appreciate our core values more than ever, and we believe that the true source of possibility for the future lies in people’s hearts.
Based on our convictions, we have decided to renew our slogan and logo.
Undoubtedly, the future will bring us various changes and challenges. However, no matter how difficult they may be, every ROHTO member will continue to create, evolve, and offer new value to society.
