Our Strategy

Since its founding in 1907, the Kirin Group has continued to grow for over 100 years.

Starting from the beer business, the company expanded into the Food & Beverages domain, and from the 1980s, fermentation and biotechnology have been used to expand into the Pharmaceuticals and Health Science domains. The Kirin Group is working to provide products and services that increase the quality of life for consumers in all of their life stages and at the same time solve the social issues.
