Sato, based in Tokyo and founded in 1915, is providing effective, safe and high quality products. Emla™ Patch is used as a local anaesthetic product and will be launched under the business area of ethical pharmaceuticals at Sato.

Recipharm’s facility in Karlskoga, Sweden will produce and deliver to Sato. After a successful launch in Japan, it is expected that the annual volumes of Emla™ Patch to Sato will be a significant addition to the present production at the Karlskoga facility.

Ingela Palmkvist, General Manager at Recipharm in Karlskoga says: “We first established a business relationship with Sato in 2012 and this new supply agreement extends our partnership further. We are looking forward to the launch in Japan and cooperating with Sato in developing the business, to the benefit of both companies.”
