The new office will support customer relations and help in the development of new business within Japan, while reinforcing Hovione’s global position, said Hovione.
'We are delighted to be opening our office in Osaka. Hovione’s advanced technologies and focus on quality gives us an excellent fit with the Japanese market so we wanted to have a local presence offering the best possible support to our customers,' said Kristine Senft, Hovione’s Vice-President of Marketing and Sales.
The Osaka office will be led by Yasushi Usuda, a Japanese national with 20 years of international business experience.
