Business Description
At YUKI GOSEI KOGYO, we have been engaged in research and development in the organic synthesis field since our foundation in 1947.
We have been manufacturing high-quality products in keeping with our mission―creating useful products that bring people happiness.
We also place emphasis on customized production and contract manufacturing to supply customers with a constant stream of products that meet their needs.
YUKI GOSEI KOGYO connects you to a fulfilling future with our lineup, which ranges from highly-versatile products such as glycine, which was developed by our company, to unique and high value-added products.
We have our own technologies, such as for manufacturing amino acids, including glycine. We started manufacturing and marketing it for the first time in Japan in 1952.
Glycine is used as a preservative to make food last longer and also as a flavor enhancer. Our glycine manufacturing facilities, among the largest in the world, are controlled by a strict quality management system. Glycine products manufactured there are supplied to markets in Japan and around the world in a stable manner.
