Research-based life sciences company, Kyowa Kirin Asia Pacific Pte Ltd., a Japan-based, wholly owned subsidiary of Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co Ltd, announced yesterday that it has established an Australian subsidiary, named Kyowa Kirin Australia Pty Ltd (Kyowa Kirin Australia).

With the establishment of Kyowa Kirin Australia, Kyowa Kirin Asia Pacific aims to launch Kyowa Hakko Kirin's global strategic products in the country.

Chikakuni Kotani, president of Kyowa Kirin Asia Pacific said, 'It is our pleasure to announce we have incorporated our subsidiary in Australia. It was announced last month that Kyowa Kirin Group will be shifting to a new global management structure under the 'One Kyowa Kirin' policy. Kyowa Kirin Group will be organised into four regions: North America, EMEA, Asia Pacific and Japan, and business expansion will be accelerated globally. This is Kyowa Kirin Asia Pacific's first entry into Oceania and we are excited about the future possibilities. We believe Kyowa Kirin Australia will contribute to the health and well-being of patients and families in Australia.'1.html
