On Friday, 3rd October 2008, we opened new chemical development laboratories, worth EUR 8.5 million. This new acquisition combines the knowledge from the field of synthesis with the knowledge of chemical analyses, required for the development of products from the phase of the theoretical study of chemical synthesis to the transfer of the newly developed technology to the industrial scale. On this occasion, we in co-operation with the Municipality of Novo mesto symbolically opened Andrijanič Road, the road running along the company’s premises and named after Krka’s founder, Mr Boris Andrijanič. We also unveiled a sculpture on the roundabout in the immediate vicinity of Krka.
