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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man’s right to his body, or woman’s right to her soul.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
