"Fostering 'Rekaza' as a Blockbuster New Drug for Second Half Launch"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] "With only five years left until the creation of Yuhan's 100-year history, we must move forward vigorously with the goal of becoming one of the top 50 global pharmaceutical companies, beyond being number one domestically."

Yuhan Corporation held a commemorative event on the morning of the 18th at the main auditorium of its headquarters in Daebang-dong, ahead of its 95th anniversary on the 20th. In his commemorative speech, President Cho Wook-je stated, "We will not only successfully advance the new drug projects the company is currently focusing on, but also ensure the stable success of Reklaza, which is scheduled to be launched in the second half of the year in the domestic market, and proceed smoothly with global clinical trials to nurture it into an early blockbuster new drug."

He continued, "Let all members share the same goal of 'Great Yuhan, Global Yuhan' and move forward with one heart believing 'We can do it' toward creative development, striving to become the main actors in Yuhan's 100-year history."

Following this, a long-term service award ceremony was held, where plaques and prizes were presented to a total of 107 long-term employees, including 24 employees with 30 years of service such as Executive Director Kim Jae-kyo, 52 employees with 20 years of service, and 31 employees with 10 years of service.

Meanwhile, this year's anniversary ceremony was attended only by a minimal number of representatives of long-term employees due to COVID-19.
