79 Years of Galenika: The Success of All Employees
79 Years of Galenika: A Success Built on Unity and Team Spirit
With 79 years of expertise, Galenika is one of the oldest pharmaceutical companies from the former Yugoslavia still in operation, one of the oldest in Europe, but also a company that is constantly focused on the future. “Success that endures” refers to this significant milestone.
Decades of invested knowledge and experience reflect the success of Galenika’s mission to promote health, which has remained consistently focused on the present and future health needs of patients and consumers.
“We strive, together and with dedication, to continuously improve people’s lives through research and development, education, technology, networking, and investment in the community. Day by day, our pharmaceutical products, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, make a huge difference, helping people recover, feel better, and live better. Being part of this ongoing miracle is truly a calling. I am proud of our team and grateful to all those who tirelessly and consistently contribute to positive change,” said Rikardo Vian Markes, CEO of Galenika.
“This year, we marked 79 years, and this is the success of the entire team. There are many drug manufacturers, and people often don’t know their names, even when they use some of their products. With us, it’s different. Our patients and consumers recognize the brand and know that Galenika guarantees premium quality. All the employees who work at Galenika today, as well as those who have worked here in the past, have contributed to its growth and significance. Times change, but our people are and will remain our strength,” added Rikardo Vian Markes, CEO of Galenika.
Today, Galenika is a company of diversity and opportunity: a balance of tradition and experience, with a strong focus on the future.
The company employs 810 people with over 100 educational profiles, working across more than 70 sectors/units. 63% of those in managerial positions are women. Around 20% of the employees have been with Galenika for over 25 years, and the company operates in over 10 languages across three continents.
