The contract business utilizes our strength in technologies employed for infusion solutions to meet the needs of other pharmaceutical companies. We provide full support from drug development and formulation design to actual production. OPF aims to establish strong partnerships in this business and supply many kinds of contract-manufactured products which contribute to wide range of medical treatment.
As a leading company of intravenous solutions contributing broadly to the field of medical treatment, we continue working to improve our IV solution technologies based on our over seventy-five years of experience. OPF's unique technologies support high-quality and groundbreaking manufacturing methods, with a particular strength in plastic containers, films, and formulation. We utilize these strengths to take commissions from other pharmaceutical companies to manufacture products on a contract basis, working from the development and formulation design stages to actual production. OPF keeps its systems in top form to meet the demands of these pharmaceutical companies and supplies products which can contribute to better medical treatment.
Our contract manufacturing services greatly contribute to our client companies through lower costs of manufacturing equipment and others, a shorter time for development and establishment of manufacturing process, the provision of high-quality and stable products, and formulations using new technologies. We are also flexible in response to orders such as small-lot production and requests to keep from missing the right market timing.
Currently we manufacture products on contract for a large number of pharmaceutical companies. We produce a wide range of pharmaceuticals such as antibiotic kits using our independently developed “Otsuka multi-chamber bag system,” small-capacity plastic ampules, various types of premixed soft bags, as well as external preparations such as ointments and creams. We also manufacture on contract for our group companies, utilizing a particular strength of the Otsuka Group. For example, J.O. Pharma, a subsidiary of OPF, manufactures prefilled syringes. OPF handles all inquiries related to these products and provides support for contract manufacturing.
Our rigorous quality assurance system is applied to every contracted product so that we can supply the highest quality products to our clients.

Additionally, having a product supply system in place in the event of a disaster is a vital point for a pharmaceutical company. At OPF, we actively implement business continuity planning (BCP), including separating the manufacturing Sites and distribution warehouses, to allow business activities to continue as much as possible in the event of a disaster and ensure a stable supply of products to our clients.
OPF aims to establish solid relationships of trust with client pharmaceutical companies and strong partnerships in contract manufacturing. We propose products that utilize our newest technologies and offer a high-quality and high-efficiency production system. The Contract Business Division, which is the contact point for this business, works with our Technology, Quality, and Production Departments to continuously support client pharmaceutical companies as part of an internal system that allows us to manage every phase from the development stages of a pharmaceutical product to investigational drug production, PQ, PV, and actual production. We also carry out contract manufacturing in conjunction with other Otsuka Group companies.
OPF currently manufactures, under contract for a large number of pharmaceutical manufacturers, various products utilizing our technologies for plastic containers, films, and formulation. This wide-ranging lineup includes: antibiotic kit formulations, premixed soft bag formulations, plastic ampule parenteral solutions, prefilled syringe parenteral solutions, ointments, creams, and topical solutions (lotions).
