Daiichi Sankyo, Inc.

The union of Daiichi and Sankyo brings together two pharmaceutical companies bound by a century of vision and a legacy of firsts. From the discovery of epinephrine to the development of the statin class of lipid-lowering agents, and the development of the first glitazone, which revolutionized long-term control of type 2 diabetes, the people of Daiichi Sankyo remain committed to a unique ideal – Adding to the Balance of Life.

• To physicians, this means objective data, the highest ethical standards, and a desire to deliver practical human benefits with each product we develop.
  
• To our partners, we balance the strength and stability of our global presence with the spirit, agility, and quick reaction times of much smaller companies.
  
• To our employees, we offer an operational structure that balances creativity with discipline and individualism with collaboration.
  
• To patients, we are committed to developing medications that put lives into balance – and add to the balance of life.

Founded by Dr. Jyokichi Takamine, one of the world's pioneers in biotechnology, we continue to seek new ways to improve the lives of our patients and establish a lasting impact on the field of medicine by Adding to the Balance of Life. Balancing our spirit of invention with a commitment to scientific rigor, we seek to solidify our position as a primary source of new therapeutic agents, including important medicines for hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Nothing signifies our commitment to adding balance more than our founder's first gift to the people of the United States – 3000 cherry trees planted majestically in our nation's capitol. The annual blooming of cherry blossoms in Washington, DC symbolizes the balance of East and West, beauty and strength, and eternal renewal amidst seasonal change – a perennial reminder of Daiichi Sankyo's global reach.

Our commitment to the latest technology allows for greater collaboration between employees and customers.
