Farmaka

history

Established in 1969, Farmaka operated initially as a licensing link for pharmaceutical products between Japan and Italy, licensing–in from major companies such as Mitsubishi Pharma, Meiji and Amano Enzyme for registration and marketing through national and international sub-licensees such as Abiogen, Angelini, Grünenthal, Abbott and Bayer.
In the early 80’s, Farmaka began a research program leading to the issuance of several product patents and international partnerships.

Today Farmaka is an all-round business-to-business pharmaceutical company. We can provide a broad array of high-quality services in the fields of pharmaceuticals, consumer health products and medical devices. Besides dealing with drugs of wide distribution, such as antibiotics, tranquilizers and NSAIDs, Farmaka is distinctively well recognized for its ability to penetrate niche markets ready for the taking.

Environment

Farmaka is located in Lake Como, a territory where nature’s beauty and sustainable development are one. Protecting the environment has always been an obvious choice here, a part of our history. Not only do we diligently recycle whenever possible, we use energy efficient appliances, low emission vehicles and recycled paper. Our employees are also encouraged to practice duplex printing for all internal documents and car sharing. Moreover, our new product lines have been designed to be environmentally friendly. Their packaging is made of 100% recyclable materials including plastic-free cardboard and all-PET bottles, and uses a limited number of printing colors. This approach is now standard at Farmaka and will be applied to all future products.
