History

TOKU-E Company was formed in 1981 in Tokyo, Japan and employs engineers and specialists from all over the world in manufacturing facilities on almost every continent. Throughout the 80's, TOKU-E concentrated on fermentation products. In the 90's, TOKU-E expanded efforts into biotechnology and pharmaceutical research in comparative gene study and site specific mutations of antibiotics producing microorganisms through both private and public contract research, and gradually became a reputable supplier of antibiotics for biopharmaceutical, diagnostic and biotechnology research.

TOKU-E Company has recently formed a grant-making foundation in Singapore, TOKU-E Foundation, to promote information sharing, compound sharing and some technology sharing for antimicrobials. TOKU-E Foundation will provide funding to public research organizations for antibiotic resistant related studies.
