Belgrade, July 21, 2026 – Marking 81 years of leadership in the pharmaceutical industry, company Galenika continued its business development in the first half of 2026, with sales growth on the domestic and international markets, continuous expansion of the product portfolio and continued internationalization of business. One of the company’s key strategic focuses in 2026 is the field of obesity treatment, and with a new group of products, Galenika rounded off a unique concept that combines modern therapy and nutritional support within a multidisciplinary approach to obesity treatment. <\/strong>This year, Galenika launched the Oli-support line of dietary supplements, designed to provide nutritional support for people working to reduce their body weight, as part of a comprehensive approach alongside Olire\u00ae (liraglutide).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Compared to the same period last year, in the first half of 2026, Galenika achieved sales growth of 11 percent in Serbia, 8 percent in the region and even 18 percent in the European Union market. At the same time, the company launched a total of 75 products in Serbia, the region and the EU, registered 67 products and increased its own production. Confirmation of a strong market position is also represented by the fact that Galenika has over 30 brands in leading positions in their categories in terms of market share in Serbia.<\/p>\n

In 2026, as we mark our 81st anniversary, continuous business growth confirms that Galenika’s development strategy based on quality, innovation and international connections is sustainable in the long term. We continue to expand our presence on international markets, develop new products and invest in the knowledge of our employees. <\/em>The Oli-support line of dietary supplements, designed to provide nutritional support for people working to reduce their body weight and intended for use alongside Olire\u00ae (liraglutide) as part of a comprehensive approach and in accordance with the advice of a healthcare professional – represents a modern approach focused on preserving health, achieving sustainable results, and improving quality of life<\/em>,”<\/em> said Ricardo Vian Marques, CEO of Galenika.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Today, Galenika operates in as many as 30 international markets, with plans for further business expansion. During the first half of the year, Galenika continued to strengthen its international partnerships, including expanding its presence in Latin American markets. Earlier this year, the company further strengthened its presence in the EU through the acquisition of the Slovenian company Sanofarm.<\/p>\n

The company continues to invest in employee development, so in the first half of the year the number of working hours invested in various training programs more than doubled compared to the same period of the previous year, along with the implementation of a comprehensive employee education program in the field of AI tools. Galenika confirms its commitment to the development of leadership potential and diversity, with women making up 62 percent of the company’s managers today. At the same time, 48 expert medical meetings were organized and sponsored for almost a thousand health workers, while donations of medical equipment and medicines were realized for a total of 61 health institutions in Serbia.<\/p>\n

The development of young talents is another of Galenika’s strategic priorities. The professional practice program is one of the key channels for identifying, developing and retaining future experts. During the first half of the year, the second cycle of the program for students was successfully completed, and as many as 80 percent of its participants continued their careers in the company.<\/p>\n

By the end of 2026, Galenika plans to continue the intensive internationalization of its business through expanding its presence on international markets, as well as more than 230 planned product launches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
