A LEGACY OF INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE

PHCbi products are built on a foundation of product innovation and excellence that dates back to 1966, when Sanyo Electric introduced Japan’s first pharmaceutical refrigerator — setting a new benchmark for quality in biomedical storage. Over the decades, our technology has evolved through continuous innovation and a steadfast commitment to reliability in laboratory research.

Originally developed and sold under the Sanyo and Panasonic brands, PHCbi products have earned a global reputation for exceptional performance. Today we continue to support and service legacy equipment while expanding our portfolio to meet the evolving needs of modern laboratories.

  • 1966: Sanyo Electric pioneers the pharmaceutical-grade refrigerator setting the standard for quality and innovation in biomedical research.
  • 2012: Panasonic Healthcare acquires Sanyo's healthcare division, ushering in a new era of advanced preservation and incubator technologies.
  • 2014: Panasonic Healthcare is carved out from Panasonic Group.
  • 2018: Panasonic Healthcare becomes PHC. Biomedical products are rebranded under the PHCbi name, marking a new chapter in our commitment to life science and biomedical research.
  • 2021: PHC Holdings Corporation, today known collectively with its subsidiaries as PHC Group, is listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Today, PHCNA operates as part of the Biomedical Division of PHC Corporation and a member of PHC Group, a global collection of healthcare companies dedicated to advancing solutions in diabetes management, diagnostics, life sciences, and healthcare IT. Our biomedical technologies support researchers in more than 100 countries, helping them drive scientific discovery and ultimately support improved patient outcomes.
