Over the years, YMC constantly has increased its international exposure to innovative marketplaces. Products and services have matured to a level of world-wide recognition, specifically in the area of pharmaceutical and biotech compounds, where YMC is one of the few companies to fully support normal phase and reversed phase chromatography techniques from analytical to process scale, throughout the entire lifetime of a compound from R&D to scale-up, production and Quality Control. Substantial investments into facilities and staff represent YMC’s ongoing commitment towards high quality products and technical support: in Komatsu/Japan, new premises provide equipment for professional industrial-scale custom purification services, for example, and organic synthesis facilities under GMP-conditions, where applicable.
