This new factory, named SEIKA, meaning "achievement" or "success" in Japanese, will be N&S Group's 9th factory, but also the first new factory after having been acquired by Otsuka Pharmaceutical in early 2009.
In that sense, SEIKA is a revolutionary factory, a landmark and a milestone in terms of production mindset, technology and quality.
SEIKA solves multiple issues at once. The factory design allows improvement in quality, higher and stricter hygienic environment, much faster and flexible production changes leading to 70% more capacity even when reducing the lines from 3 to 2. The factory layout allows additional line expansion, which can happen in a few years, if we continue to grow at the current speed.
