Cooperation among Group Companies
The Rohto Group Marketing Authorization Holder Joint Meeting is regularly held as a forum for information sharing and discussion among five Group companies (Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Rohto Nitten Co., Ltd., Amato Pharmaceutical Products, Ltd., Mayado Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Qualitech Pharma Co., Ltd.) with the aim of enhancing the quality and safety of the Group’s domestic manufacturing plants and building a platform for such enhancement. In addition, we check manufacturing operations, records, sanitation standards, and other plant-related details to ensure that there are no discrepancies with approval documents, while conducting mutual inspections to make sure that there are no irregularities.
We also endeavor to enhance the management capabilities and solve the issues of individual companies by introducing outstanding human resources. These initiatives are aimed at raising efficiency through human resource development and collaboration, creating a compliance system, and sharing information on safety activities. Our Group companies are composed of various predecessors, each of which has a quality system that has been cultivated over many years. Building on the strengths of individual companies, the entire Group works together to provide even higher quality products.
