May 7, 2009, Osaka, Japan --- Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”) today announced the integration of its wholly owned subsidiaries Takeda Ireland Limited (“TIL”) (Kilruddery, Ireland) and Takeda Pharma Ireland Limited (“TPI”) (Dublin, Ireland) into a single operation on July 1, 2009, through a complete transfer of TPI's assets to TIL.
