Chugai Pharma Taiwan, a century-old enterprise (Chugai Pharmaceutical CO.,LTD.), grandly held its "100th Anniversary Family Day" event on June 29th at Yuanshan Flora Expo Park. The celebration brought together nearly 200 employees, retirees, and their families from across Taiwan to witness this glorious milestone moment together. The event was filled with warmth and gratitude.

The birth of a century-old enterprise is no coincidence. Since its establishment, Chugai has weathered changing times and market fluctuations while steadfastly adhering to its "patient-centered" philosophy. Through continuous innovation and steady growth, the company has remained resilient in the fiercely competitive pharmaceutical industry. This Family Day event was not only a celebration but also a heartfelt expression of gratitude to all employees and their families, representing the most touching manifestation of corporate culture.

The event featured various entertaining activities including parent-child collaborative tasks, Chugai history quizzes, physical challenges, treasure hunts, and activities related to Chugai's commitment to the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. An eco-friendly ESG tea and water station was also set up to help families stay hydrated during the hot summer day, allowing everyone to create precious memories filled with laughter.

Chugai Pharma Taiwan President Mr. Yuji Habara reflected on the company's founding journey and development milestones. He mentioned that Chugai's founder, Mr. Juzo Ueno, witnessed the devastating drug shortage following the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan a century ago. Driven by the belief to "create medicines to help patients," he established Chugai Pharmaceutical with only seven employees. Through countless challenges, the company successfully developed drugs, transformed into a prescription pharmaceutical enterprise, ventured into immunology, and established an innovative strategic alliance with Roche, moving forward steadily.

President Mr. Habara noted, "Over the years, our unwavering commitment to patients has been the driving force behind our innovation." Chugai Pharma Taiwan, established 37 years ago as an important overseas subsidiary of the Chugai Group, has consistently dedicated itself to bringing innovative medicines to Taiwanese patients. He also expressed his sincere gratitude to all dedicated employees, their families, and partners.

In closing, President Mr. Habara offered inspiring words: "Looking ahead, we will uphold Chugai Pharmaceutical's management philosophy of 'Everything for patients, innovation for every patient's future,' and continue contributing to Taiwan's healthcare industry. I declare that we will march together toward the next 100 years."

Chugai Pharma Taiwan emphasized that the achievements of this century-old enterprise stem from every employee's dedication and perseverance, with families serving as the strongest pillar of support. Through the Family Day event, the company hopes to convey its care and appreciation to colleagues and their families while welcoming the next promising century together.
