Message from the President

Founded in 1964, FREUND pioneered the development of the world’s first automatic tablet film coating machine and film coating formulation.

Guided by our corporate philosophy, “Develop the Future through Creativity,” we have expanded our business globally, serving pharmaceutical and food manufacturers as our primary customers.

As markets evolve, we have transformed our business model from “PEN (machinery)” and “INK (chemical products)” into two driving forces: “HARD,” our portfolio of advanced equipment, and “SOFT,” our formulation expertise. By continuously developing our technologies in close partnership with customers, we have earned trust and recognition as an industry leader in Japan and around the world.


Looking ahead, we will continue building on this foundation with a new focus: bringing HEART to everything we do.

In an age where technologies such as AI are accelerating efficiency, the value of human insight and dedication becomes even more important. By putting HEART into everything we create, we strive to deliver meaningful value not only to our customers, but also to the patients and consumers they ultimately serve.

Looking ahead, we will continue advancing our vision of “Creating essential technologies for a brighter tomorrow.”
By harnessing the strengths of our global group companies, we are committed to developing technologies and products that contribute to healthier, more fulfilling lives for people around the world.

President & CEO Iwao Fusejima
