About Sato Top

Hachioji Factory

Complete facilities and a global production system at
Sato’s main factory

The 25,000m2 Hachioji Factory has played a central role in production for Sato. The factory includes facilities such as a drink production line, ointment wing, formulation wing and the production line for ACESS and other products. To respond to the introduction of new products and changes in the market, we are actively expanding our production lines and enhancing our systems. We are also planning to construct a new manufacturing wing to accommodate expanded production. In March 2022, we obtained ISO22716 certification, an international standard for quality and safety in the manufacture of cosmetics.

Kazusa Factory

A fully automated, IT-enhanced next-generation
production center

The Kazusa Factory is a next-generation facility featuring the latest technologies. The production facilities in its drink production wing and external-use wing use IT technologies that make the entire process almost completely automated. Sato is actively making capital investments, including deploying a new line in December 2021 to accommodate expanded sales of NAZAL SPRAY.

Taiwan Factory

A global standard production site responsible for
manufacturing highly reliable products

Sato’s Taiwan Factory undergoes regular checks undertaken by quality control management in Japan to ensure reliable, high-quality products.
In 2014, it achieved conformity with PIC/S-GMP global quality control standards. In 2022, it was qualified once again with a renewed certificate. The factory operates as the production base for the growing Asian market.
