History
Founded in 1954, Krka’s pharmaceutical laboratory made its way to a production plant two years later. 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.
In the 1980s, Krka started to develop its marketing network and strengthened its position on European markets.
By placing its shares on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange in 1997, Krka was transformed into a public limited company. In 2007, Krka acquired its first company abroad.
