75 years of Kemofarmacija
Kemofarmacija had 25 employees when it was founded. Medicines were delivered around Ljubljana by carts and tricycles. The first car was the pride of all employees.
And 75 years later, there are 181 employees who daily provide reliable, safe and comprehensive supply to more than 1 100 customers, including all Slovenian pharmacies and hospitals.
We are a vital link in the pharmaceutical supply chain. An average order placed by our customer includes 50 different types of medicines from 20 different suppliers. Thus, we significantly optimise the supply chain of pharmaceuticals and reduce transactions by more than 125 times.
With our additional services, we enable our pharmacy customers to devote more time providing expert advice to patients.
Almost 11 500 different products are kept in our warehouse, including 3,400 pharmaceuticals. We work with 350 different suppliers and manage inventories of medicines that would last for almost a month in the event of a shortage.
We are well aware of our impact on the environment, and therefore we look for and choose sustainable solutions.
Kemofarmacija is about people. We make sure that patients at the end of the supply chain receive safe and effective medicines when and where they need them.
75 years on the way to health.
