Company information
Founded in 1926 by Dr. Ilhan New, Yuhan Corporation began with a vision to restore national sovereignty through public health. Believing that a healthy population is essential for a strong nation, Dr. New established the company to provide high-quality medicines and address critical health issues in Korea. For nearly a century, Yuhan has stayed true to this mission, prioritizing research and development and building successful partnerships with global pharmaceutical companies. As a result, Yuhan has been named one of Korea’s most respected companies for 20 consecutive years.

With FDA-compliant facilities and certifications from major global regulatory agencies, Yuhan offers end-to-end services for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates—from research to commercial production.
