As a socially responsible company we are dedicated to the tradition of culture and science in Slovenia. Since the general renovation of the building (1998) where we do most of our business, we have worked hard to maintain its excellent construction and artistic value because it is the only example of new Czech Cubism in Ljubljana.
We also take care to maintain the professional and literary library of prof. dr. Pavel Bohinc. Professor Bohinc was the founder of the first secondary pharmaceutical school in Slovenia (in 1946 ), its longtime headmaster, and later professor Emeritus and the Head of the Department of Pharmacognosy at the Faculty of Pharmaceutics at the University of Ljubljana.
In collaboration with the National Museum of Ljubljana and the University Library in Novi Sad, we restored the first Serbian Pharmacopoeia.
