In an effort to shift to a more profitable structure and to enhance its global supply system, Takasago has made a series of infrastructure investments and moves in 2017. In March of the year, the company opened a manufacturing facility at the One Hub Chennai in India, which serves the Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other neighboring markets. Then later that month, the company announced that it had met its second milestone with its partnership with Evolva, which explored fermentation routes to produce ingredients. The results of its business and investments moved sales slightly higher in 2017 to ¥137,490 million
