In the century-and-a-half since our founding,
we have endeavored to bring patch care the broad
acceptance it now enjoys.
Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical was founded in the mid-19th century under the name of Komatsuya. The company went on to create a large variety of health-related products, and has been the organization responsible for the promotion of new ideas based on its comprehensive system encompassing research, development, manufacturing, and sales. Salonpas was in fact introduced in 1934, and with its outright effectiveness achieved the position of market leadership it continues to hold today. Salonpas was developed through the application of Asahi Mankinko, the prototype therapeutic patch or that we introduced back in 1903. Just as its market launch signaled a high level of refinement, the product has evolved considerably since then, thanks to the comments of everyday users. Moreover, it has served to expand the culture of patch treatment, in which therapeutic patches are promoted as safe and easy to use. Diversity has become a key word in terms of culture and lifestyle today, yet unfortunately this has brought forth new health concerns associated with increased stress and reduced exercise. Amid this environment, in which the very concept of health is changing, Hisamitsu’s role is all the more important. In fact, we believe the fulfillment of our mission is nothing less than an obligation to the global community. It is with that in mind that we work to improve our products and promote new means for people everywhere to apply the many benefits of patch care. Our approach to the future involves enhanced efficacy and ease of use for all our products. We will also be active in new fields, including gene therapy. We at Hisamitsu are fully committed to making patch care a universally recognized therapy with an important role in every health-care methodology. It is through such a commitment that we will ensure our stature as a company that contributes to better quality of life for people around the world. |
