Krka registered its first pharmaceuticals on the domestic market and made inroads into foreign markets in 1960s. During this time, Krka supplemented its offer with licence products, obtaining its first FDA registration for antibiotics production.
In the early 1980s, Krka focused on the development of own generic products with additional value.
