Our story
In 1781, Takeda founder, Chobei I, began selling traditional Japanese and Chinese herbal medicines in Doshomachi, the medicine district of Osaka, Japan. He soon gained a reputation for business integrity and quality products and services. These values and characteristics have continued through the years and have become embedded in our uncompromising corporate philosophy, which still guides us today.
