Manufacturing facilities

Achieving the same high-quality manufacturing as is found in Japan.

All manufacturing processes, from acceptance of raw materials to final product's sample
checks, are managed under one roof.

In order to ensure the same level of reliability in product manufacturing, the Taiwan Factory is furnished with the same equipment and has the same management system as the Hachioji Factory in Japan. Strict, bulk air-conditioning controls are used to maintain the temperature, humidity, and pressure in the clean room, and, furthermore, all products made in Taiwan are periodically double-checked by the quality control section in Japan.

In preparation for a future increase in demand for liquid products, including tonic drinks, a lliquid product building and a product shipment yard are currently under construction at the Taiwan Factory. This expansion plan seeks to win customer confidence and establish the Sato brand by enhancing the quality and quantity of Sato products manufactured in Taiwan.

Strict process control is conducted to prevent cross contamination between different products and, at the same time, streamlining is in progress as exemplified by the use of automatic sorters with a capacity of 1,000 to 2,000 tablets per minute.
