In 2023, in Serbia, Galenika launched 25 products, while in 2024 the company plans to launch as many as 80 new products. In addition to that, Galenika continues strategic expansion of its portfolio through a partnership and exclusive contract with company Cantabria Labs, one of the leading Spanish manufacturers of dermatological brands. This way, Galenika takes over the general distribution of Cantabria Labs premium dermacosmetics for the markets of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia, it was pointed out at the presentation of Galenika’s new partnerships with global brands and investments in production in Serbia this and last year.

As said, Cantabria Labs operates in 85 markets worldwide, has the highest quality standards and products that are leaders in their categories throughout Europe. Ricardo Vian Marques, General Manager of Galenika, and Nenad Burazor, Sales and Marketing Manager, also highlighted the acquisition of the LifeMedic company, the partnership with the Italian manufacturer Pharmalife Research and the expansion of Galenika’s own portfolio as some of the most important business results in the preceding period. As pointed out, all this combined further strengthens the company’s market position and offers consumers and patients a wide range of modern pharmaceutical products of the highest quality.

– We are strategically focused on strengthening Galenika by expanding our own portfolio and establishing partnerships with global manufacturers. During the last year, Galenika commenced a new investment cycle, with focus to the further expansion of state-of-the-art production capacity and environmental protection. From 2023, 18.8 million euros have been invested in the development of 3 new factories and the reconstruction of the complete internal water supply system, which saves water consumption by 10 percent. As always and in accordance with development plans, we continue to invest in digitization and further development of production capacities, while expanding our business presence on international markets – emphasized Ricardo Vian Marques.

Nenad Burazor noted that, along with health care, people care is at the top of the company’s priorities.

– Galenika continuously invests in education and improvement of working environment and employee safety. This year, additional expansion of the e-learning platform for employees is planned, which is in line with the fact that Galenika is a company of experts – Burazor said.



The digitization process, as pointed out, continues. Through the most modern SAP Analytics Cloud platform, the analysis of all business processes in the company has been digitized, which represents the improvement of strategic and operational business planning. In addition, the plan is to introduce the ISO 27001 standard for information security management, as well as the implementation of a Digital Manufacturing platform to further increase efficiency and productivity in production.

As part of the internationalization of business, products were launched in Slovenia and Croatia last year, and representative offices were opened for the markets of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where the first Galenika products are expected this year.
