KO DA

   




PRESERVATION OF TRADITION
KO DA Pharmaceutical was founded in 1980 and established in Ping-Zhen Industrial Park, trading as Baishou Pharmaceutical Company in Taiwan. Dr Hasegawa, the renowned pharmacist from Japan, was recruited as the factory’s first director to bring in Japan’s advanced granulation technology and to build a factory in accordance to strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and international standards. KO DA’s mission is to continuously innovate while remaining true to its founding philosophy “Preservation of Tradition, Innovation for People”.

INNOVATION FOR PEOPLE
Today, KO DA Pharmaceutical has adopted “Scientific, Honest and Innovative” as its corporate philosophy. Utilising their ancestral knowledge, employing leading experts, advanced equipment and modern facilities; KO DA manufactures the safest, most potent and stable traditional Chinese herbal products. KO DA’s reputation is shaped by their conscientious integrity that nurtures lasting relationships, and earns lifelong trust among respected peers, experts, government bodies and industry professionals worldwide.
