Who we are

We employ 15,400 people worldwide.

At DAIICHI SANKYO we do more than develop pharmaceuticals. We create hope in patients’ lives. How? By discovering new medicines that meet our core objective of being first-in-class or best-in class.

Our roots go back to late 19th century Japan, when Sankyo was established as a pharmacy in Tokyo. Now our global operation employs tens of thousands of people worldwide in pharmaceutical research, development, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, sales and medical services.

What’s more, we’re still expanding. DAIICHI SANKYO has a growing presence in most European countries, the USA, Latin America and Asia.

Our U.K ultra-modern office in leafy Buckinghamshire provides easy transport links and the space to run not only large meetings but most of our training too. We have 129 employees consisting of Primary & Secondary Care Business Units, Medical and Regulatory,Business Intelligence, Finance, I.T, People Services and Performance Development teams. By investing in technology, business intelligence and competitive employment benefits, we are able to attract the best people.
