WHAT’S HAPPENING
PRODUCTION CAPACITY
TOSOH CORPORATION HAS ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL BE INCREASING THE PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF THE TOYOPEARL LIQUID CHRO-
MATOGRAPHY SEPARATION AND PURIFICATION MEDIA AT THE NANYO COMPLEX, IN SHUNAN, YAMAGUCHI PREFECTURE. THE NEARLY
50% PRODUCTION CAPACITY INCREASE IS IN RESPONSE TO GROWING GLOBAL DEMAND FOR PURIFICATION MEDIA FROM THE ANTIBO-
DY DRUG MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY.
At a cost of about 42 million, the Nanyo Complex’s TOYOPEARL pro-
duction facilities are being expanded. Construction began in October
2016 and is slated for completion in August 2018. Commercial opera-
tions at the expanded production facilities are expected to commence
in April 2019.
The Nanyo Complex, Tosoh Corporation’s main manufacturing hub,
is located in the Yamaguchi Prefecture on Honchu Island in western
Japan. This sprawling complex is nothing less than a self-contained
city with its own power generation plants, port, and manufacturing
facilities.
Given the rapid growth of the market for biopharmaceutical products,
in Japan, the United States, in Europe, in China, in India, and in other
emerging nations, chromatographic media are in high demand. Tosoh
is committed to meeting that demand.
