Drugs are used to protect precious life.
We who are involved in the manufacture of drugs undertake our work with the ever-present awareness and sense of responsibility that we work "for the benefit of patients who are suffering from disease".
In manufacturing drugs, quality should be assured as specified by design.
The manufacturing division follows defined protocol with exact precision in the manufacturing process and the testing division conducts analytical testing of the raw materials as well as the finished products. The quality assurance division checks the operational records of manufacturing and testing records, making certain that only products that meet all the criteria as drugs are shipped out of our factory. 

Fujiyama Plant is one of our production centers. Together with the Joto Plant, located in Osaka City, it is a GMP compliant manufacturing plant. (GMP is a set of standards relating to the manufacturing control and quality control of pharmaceuticals.)
The Fujiyama Plant is situated in Fujinomiya City in Shizuoka Prefecture. Since it was built in 1975, its facilities have been constantly improved and expanded. Today, the plant boasts state-of-the art computer-controlled manufacturing facilities.
Further improvement and innovation will be made to maintain stable and high quality, to improve productivity and to reduce cost.

Fujiyama Plant (Shizuoka)

Within the grounds of the Fujiyama Plant, was constructed a large-scale injection manufacturing plant in 1999, equipped with state-of-the art automation facilities. This is Fujiyama Plant 7, built with guidance from the US and British consultants. Not only does it comply with Japanese GMP but also clears European and the US GMP. In both hardware and software terms, the plant is equipped with the most advanced world-class facilities, gearing Ono up to the out-licensing of products that are developed.
Computers are used for giving commands for all the necessary maneuvers of the manufacturing process, checking of such operational maneuvers, and data gathering and recording. Industrial robots are used in all the processes from the receiving of raw materials to the dispatch of finished products. 
It is important that injections are bacteria-free. In particular, in order to ensure that the series of operations from filling to freeze-drying is carried out under sterile conditions, the involvement of operatives are avoided insofar as possible, while an extremely advanced control of air-conditioning is implemented. The work environment and the water used for manufacturing, which are important elements in the manufacture of injections, are monitored and controlled around the clock under full automation.
