History

“JADRAN” - Galenic Laboratory (JGL), Rijeka, Croatia, is progressive and flexible pharmaceutical company that has emerged from the foundation of a pharmacy organization Pharmacy "JADRAN" Rijeka. Founded in 1991 as the first and the only completely privatized pharmaceutical stockholder company in Croatia, the company's move from the central laboratory to a strong and growing pharmaceutical company can be attributed to its continual strategic expansion of new product lines and to aggressive expansion into international markets. 1991 year was marked by the first registered drug Carbo Medicinalis - which soon made it a household name in Croatia. Throughout the years, the company was set out to exploit available and profitable generic drug niches on the Croatian market. Continuing in its endeavor to improve people's health, JGL continually invests in modern production technologies and is proud to have developed a state of the art production facility that entirely complies with EC Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards aimed at manufacturing sterile liquid dosage forms - including the packing department and storage facilities. Thanks to its product quality and dynamic marketing approach, the company has, in a relatively short time span, succeeded to establish and to maintain reliable working relationships with a wide specter of customers and partners. The company is now proud to offer some 500 products under its own trademark as well as under other private trademarks.

Today, the company holds 2.5% share of the Croatian market and is the third largest domestic manufacturer. In 2008, the total revenue amounted to Kuna 500 million, of which more than 50% from foreign markets.
