Partnering With Us

As a Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Overseas Company, we are committed to achieving our shared mission by creating and delivering innovative products and services for the medical community and human health around the world.

For over 30 years, we have worked with pioneers and partners in healthcare and innovation.

Get in touch with our Partnering Team to learn more.

What Makes us Different?

Our 30-year history and proven track record of commercial success is evidence of our European expertise and strong sales and marketing platform. As part of the Chugai Group, we retain our strategic autonomy and appetite to expand our product offering, whilst benefitting from stable foundations and access to worldwide insights and knowledge.

For each of our partnerships, we adopt a flexible approach, adapting the agreement to your specific business and product needs. Throughout the partnership, we can respond to external influences, adopting a unique marketing strategy developed with you, and based on the necessary investment to ensure optimal marketing capability and sales success.

Built on integrity, we provide a high level of individual attention to our partnerships to establish a positive, long-lasting relationship. As our partner, you can expect to be allocated a dedicated team, time, and resources to ensure you are given the same focus and support as our current portfolio, tailored to your needs.
We have extensive experience in our core territories of the UK, France and Germany, and work with a wide network of partners and suppliers to service the entire European region. Our team has knowledge and expertise that covers the complete drug development process from research and development to regulatory approval, market access, and commercialisation, including all functions, such as sales, marketing, digital marketing, medical, market access, regulatory affairs, pharmacovigilance, QA, and supply chain.

How do we Partner?

The core pillar of our approach is flexibility. We offer a tailored approach to partnerships that can adapt to the needs of your organisation and product. We pride ourselves on building this agreement with you, and developing a relationship that can include specific arrangements, based on:

The Alliance with Roche

In October 2002, Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. entered into a strategic alliance with the global pharmaceutical company, Roche, making Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. a fully consolidated subsidiary of the Roche Group. Whilst Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is majority-owned by Roche, it is an independent company publicly listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and Chugai Pharma Europe is a Chugai Group company.

This alliance means that for some Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. products licensed to Roche, the companies may enter into a co-promote relationship in Europe. In some instances, Chugai Pharma Europe may also set-up specific local in-country agreements with Roche for promotion activities. When working in this way, our teams in Europe collaborate closely with Roche in the UK, France, and Germany, across our sales, marketing, medical and PV functions, to deliver these solutions to the medical community and to support product safety.

Entering a partnership with Chugai Pharma Europe will be independent of Roche, and product agreements and working arrangements will be made specifically with Chugai Pharma Europe and the Chugai Group.
