Krka, d. d., Novo mesto (Novo mesto, SI)

Krka is one of the top global generic pharmacists.

With growth and development in mind, every individual is part of the success story.
We started as a small pharmaceutical laboratory, but with decisive moves we have developed into an international pharmaceutical business group with more than 11,000 employees. In more than 60 years, we have grown into a group that, in addition to the parent company in Slovenia, consists of subsidiaries and representative offices in more than 40 countries. We market our products in more than 70 countries.

We sell more than 1 billion euros worth of products and services per year, which makes us one of the leading generic pharmaceutical companies.

A key part of our offer are prescription drugs that relieve the most common diseases of modern times. The most important are medicines for diseases of the heart and blood vessels, diseases of the central nervous system and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and metabolism. We are among the leading manufacturers of medicines for lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as treating ulcers and reflux.

We take care of the medicine from the initial idea to the crucial moment when the patient receives it.

We manage the entire journey of our products with a vertically integrated business model. In other words: we design them from start to finish, from the development of the active ingredient to the final product. We also take care of their registration on various markets and effective marketing and sales. Vertically integrated products represent more than 70% of our sales program.

When it comes to health, we know no compromises: in drug development, only the best is good enough!

Experts from more than 30 natural science and technical fields participate in the development of medicines based on their own knowledge and innovations. We synthesize active ingredients according to our own innovative procedures, and we use the most demanding technology in the development and production of innovative pharmaceutical forms. In the entire process, we take into account the required international standards and thus ensure quality, safety and efficiency.
Our presence in foreign markets and our market shares confirm that we are on the right track.
Prescription drugs account for more than 80% of total sales, while non-prescription products and veterinary products also make up a significant share. The offer is complemented by spa and tourist services. We market products under our own brands, which are already well established in the vast area from Lisbon to Vladivostok. 45 million people are treated with our medicines every day.

Our core mission, our key business direction and our only goal.

Through the development, production, and sale of medicines, we pave the way to better health. Living a healthy life also means that we promote a healthy lifestyle, take responsible care of the sensitive natural environment and actively support the development of the social environment in which we live and work. This is a challenging mission to which we are fully committed.
