Throughout its history, Zdravlje established successful partnerships with some of the biggest pharma companies in the world today which is a testament to its quality and good-standing. After Frontier’s acquisition of Zdravlje, I am looking forward to taking part in the new chapter of the company’s history. Our main aim will be to increase access to high-quality medicines to patients, as well as to provide innovative medications in the most cost-effective way, both from our work-of-art manufacturing site and in partnership with international pharma companies.”

These changes are amongst the most significant developments in the history of Zdravlje and will strongly position the Company for its future growth. Zdravlje employees join in welcoming Dragan & Todor to the team and wish them all the best for their roles.
