Manca Arbajter
Head of Operational Purchasing

I started working at Krka in 2007 as a Purchasing Assistant after obtaining a degree from the Biotechnical Faculty. My tasks initially included ordering different laboratory materials and later on materials for our cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Regular communication with contract partners gave me a better understanding of the entire purchasing process.
My career progressed and I took on the roles of Coordinator in the Purchasing – Excipients department, Head of the Purchasing – Raw Materials department, and finally Head of Operational Purchasing, the position I hold today.
From my very first day at Krka, I have been attending different company educational and training programmes, such as Krka’s Leadership School and afour-week educational programme in purchasing management at the Bled School of Management. All this has given me a broader perspective on business operations and dealing with people.
My work sees me cooperate with different people from our company and all over the world. I try to maintain good relationships with all of them and uphold Krka’s reputation. I believe that every problem can be solved; the path you will have to take may be easy, difficult, or may seem altogether impossible, but it always leads to a solution. My will and desire for continuous professional development, getting the job done and fostering cordial relationships with my co-workers make it possible for me to tackle a wide variety of tasks and maintain an upbeat team atmosphere day in, day out.
