Upsher-Smith acquired by Sawai Pharmaceutical

In June 2017, Upsher-Smith was acquired by Sawai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a large publicly traded generics company in Japan that had been seeking entry into the U.S. market. Upsher-Smith and Sawai share a strikingly similar family history and hold many of the same cherished goals and values —most importantly, the philosophy of always putting patients first.

Upsher-Smith will continue to do those things we feel we do best, which is provide a consistent supply of quality, affordable medications and invest in our historically strong industry relationships. Ultimately, we believe our acquisition by Sawai represents a tremendous opportunity to leverage each other for growth worldwide as we embark together on an exciting new chapter in generics.
