In a strategic move to enhance its growth in the healthcare and life sciences industry, Zeon Corporation has officially established Zeon Bio Solutions. This newly formed subsidiary will focus on leveraging cutting-edge technologies, particularly in transcriptome analysis, to accelerate the creation of new business opportunities within this critical sector.
Zeon, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is committed to driving growth across four key areas outlined in its mid-term management plan, STAGE30. Among these areas, the healthcare and life sciences division has become a priority, as the company seeks to capitalize on emerging trends and demands within the industry.
To fuel its new initiatives, Zeon has acquired advanced analytical technology known as "Quartz-Seq2" from Knowledge Palette, a leading provider in the field of genetic analysis. This state-of-the-art technology allows forhigh-precision RNA sequencing, enabling the company to accurately measure gene expression levels from a single cell at a lower cost. This acquisition is expected to enhance the company's existing business assets, particularly in precision molding operations utilizing cycloolefin polymers.
Zeon Bio Solutions will offer a range of transcriptome analysis services, aimed at providing researchers and healthcare providers with vital insights into gene activity, contributing to advancements in personalized medicine, drug development, and disease research.
In line with its STAGE30 Phase 3 goals, Zeon aims to achieve a 48% revenue ratio from its growth sectors by 2028. This ambitious target signals the company's commitment to investing resources in healthcare and life sciences, thereby reshaping its business portfolio to meet the evolving needs of society.
The establishment of Zeon Bio Solutions underscores Zeon's dedication to contributing to a sustainable society by offering essential products and services that align with the ideals of a "sustainable Earth" and a "comfortable and safe life for people."
