YGK has amassed a great deal of know-how and expertise on synthetic reactions involving organic metal compounds, based on industrial-scale Grignard reactions, hydrogenation reactions, especially hydrogenated catalysts. We have successfully applied our expertise to the production of heterocyclic chemicals such as pyridine and piperidine derivatives to be used in pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical intermediates and various other materials.

As one of the world leading manufacturers of glycine, we produce various amino acids utilizing sophisticated technologies and facilities. Also, by using the technologies for isolation and purification of water-soluble compounds, nucleic acids and their derivatives are manufactured and supplied to users including the biotechnology sector.

We have extensive experience in silicon-related chemistry with hydrosilylation process, which has broad applications for industrial catalysts, marine paints. In addition to this, our silicon-related technology supports IT revolution through development of the new compounds.

And now, we are focusing on discoveries of new, state-of-the-art pharmaceutical intermediates with optically active heterocyclic formulas taking advantage of the sophisticated synthetic methodologies that include novel catalysts, microbes and enzymes.

Toll manufacturing has been a key line of business since our three-tier production system and flexible array of equipment is suited for the specific needs to manufacture ranging from grams to tons at competitive costs. Through toll manufacturing experiences over 60 years, we also provide unique services such as laboratory research, feasibility analysis and process development for customers.
