Ono is a research-based pure-play pharmaceutical company. For nearly three
centuries, Ono has been involved in the development of novel medicines; the
company is currently focused on the development of new treatments for diseases
of the cardiovascular, respiratory and central nervous systems, as well as
inflammatory and metabolic disorders. Ono employs over 2,400 people and is
headquartered in Osaka, Japan.
In March 2007, Ono established its Strategic Alliance business segment in
order to strengthen research capability and expand the R&D pipeline through
strategic alliances. This new corporate entity is the result of integrating
the Drug Research Alliance and the International Business of Development
segments. Strategic Alliance is tasked with aggressively promoting
collaborative research and alliances through the introduction of leading-edge
technologies from bioventure companies. Ono is aiming to enter 10 new
drug-discovery alliances with bioventure companies over the next five years.
Strategic Alliance is also intending to promote alliances with universities
and research institutes both domestically and overseas. Ono targets 20-30
additional alliances with universities within the next five years.
Ono intends to develop new pharmaceuticals in Japan, the US and Europe, with a
strong emphasis on clinical trials overseas. The company has had research
facilities in the US (Ono Pharma USA Inc; Lawrenceville, NJ) and Europe (Ono
Pharma UK Ltd; London, UK) since 1998, and now has five independently
discovered compounds in its pipeline which are being independently developed
overseas.
The marketing division is tasked with enhancing the reputation of Ono' s
pharmaceutical products through workshops and lecture meetings. Ono expects
the National Health Insurance price revision and implementation of various
healthcare cost containment policies may significantly and adversely affect
its business. The company hopes to offset these losses through the launch of
new products and by enhancing the competitiveness of existing products.
