_ About us About us Our history Our global family Our responsibility Kowa Company, Ltd. The Kowa Group was founded in 1894, selling cotton fabric in Japan. From these humble beginnings, we have grown into a global enterprise with a diverse business portfolio. Kowa Company Ltd. is at the core of the Group, focussing mainly in the fields of textiles, machinery, construction materials, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and products aimed at energy conservation and the environment. Kowa Pharmaceutical Europe Co. Ltd. In 1947, the privately-held multinational company Kowa Company, Ltd. of Nagoya, Japan, established its pharmaceutical division in order to research, develop, manufacture and market over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, healthcare products, prescription medicines and medical devices. In 2000, Kowa Company, Ltd. expanded its global presence by establishing Kowa Pharmaceutical Europe Co. Ltd. This represented a significant step forward in the company’s vision of creating a global pharmaceutical organisation. The first pharmaceutical product launched by Kowa Pharmaceutical Europe Co.
