Progress toward reaching the Japanese government’s generic drug use target announced in 2015 is faster than expected.

Machinery ・・・ Grow faster worldwide and strengthen product development activities

Chemical and Food ・・・ Introduce more new products and make current products more competitive

Strategic Objectives of the 6th Medium-term Management Plan

Sales resources in Japan were focused on capturing orders involving generic drugs

during FY2/16 in order to prevent the lost opportunities in the generic drug sector.

Japanese government has raised the generic drug utilization rate target from 60% to 80% (by the end of Fiscal 2020)

Government Programs to Increase Generic Drug Use Are Advancing Much Faster Than Expected

Page 17: I. Financial Summary for FY2/16

16

Actions to Capture More Orders

In Japan, concentrating on orders associated with generic drugs in the machinery business and chemical and food business.

Started production of the HICOATER series of machines designed for customers outside Japan.

Reexamined relationships with sales agents in India and South Korea.

Enlarged the Freund-Vector factory

High-profile promotional activities at the ACHEMA process industries world forum in Germany in June 2015

Operations started at the Milan Demonstration Center Laboratory
