Cold Chain Center
Bushu Pharmaceuticals operates three facilities nearby Tokyo – in Kawagoe, Misato, and Kazo – that are capable of testing, packaging, and refrigerated storage at low temperatures for biopharmaceuticals and other specialty pharmaceuticals.
Misato Cold Chain Center
This 3,900 square meter cold chain center was established in September 2020 at the Misato Plant. It is used as a storage warehouse for sterile drug products and biologics that require refrigerated storage management. The center is an important hub for Bushu Pharma's "Gateway to Asia" strategy, enabling the company to receive bulk products from customers, conduct quality inspection, labeling, packaging, and supply to Japan, other Asian countries, and the rest of the world.
The inspection capacity will be expanded to 12 stations for pre-filled syringes, and seven stations each for liquid vials and for lyophilized vials. Of the 26 inspection stations, 23 will be supported by cameras. This will establish Bushu Pharma as the leading provider of sterile drug inspection in Japan's outsourced market. The Japanese market requires 100% visual inspection of pharmaceutical products intended for sale in Japan, which is particularly time-consuming and complex for sterile and biologic products.
Our Cold chain logistics service enables market expansion for temperature-controlled bio-pharmaceuticals (maintained at 2℃ to 8℃) to the Japan market, as well as to countries across Asia and beyond. We store and transport pharmaceuticals in line with each product's specific storage and security requirements, maintaining cold chain integrity throughout each step of the delivery process.
The Misato Cold Chain Center currently features capacity for 498 pallets.
