"Well-being – for our customers, for our employees, for our shareholders."

This is the motto you first notice when you visit the Replek website . And there is plenty of evidence that this company works for the good of all.

As part of the 200 LARGEST AND SUCCESSFUL , "Replek" has been an example of a socially responsible company for decades whose primary goal is well-being.

Creating competitive products on the domestic and foreign markets

Under the motto "For my own good", "Replek" as a company is focused on creating products that aim to enable a longer and better quality of life.

All work processes in the company are within the framework of ethical work, operating with the highest standards and in accordance with the needs of the modern lifestyle.

The company's production capacity produces more than 150 medicines. It is a capacity that is designed, built and equipped in accordance with the latest requirements for good manufacturing practice and according to the strictest requirements for environmental protection.

Their production capacity meets the strictest requirements for quality and safety of medicines.

"We strive to create an individual approach for our users. We strive to create well-being."

"Our vision is to always follow the needs of our users, to follow their lifestyle habits, to create a better future together. We do all this with a huge passion for work, for research and with great courage to meet your expectations," the company says.

"Replek" is a Macedonian brand with European quality that is today present in the markets of more than 25 countries.

Replek's medicines are available in pharmacies in EU member states, Southeast Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

In 2023, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) confirmed the high quality of Replek's products for the fourth time. The company received the EUGMP (Good manufacturing practice) certificate for the fourth time.

Otherwise, this certificate is a confirmation of good manufacturing practice in accordance with the highest standards of the European Union.

In addition, the EUGMP certificate is a necessary condition for "Replek" to be able to enter the EU market, but at the same time it is extremely important for placement in other markets and in countries that are not part of the Union.

It is thanks to this certificate that Replek's Macedonian pharmaceutical products are available on markets around the world.

Obtaining an A-integrated environmental permit

In addition to obtaining the certificate guaranteeing the quality of its products, "Replek" in 2023 acquired another important certificate, from the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning.

This is an A-integrated environmental permit from the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning, which the company received after a series of investments in improving operations and modernizing all segments of its operations.

"This document is a confirmation of responsible operations, continuous monitoring and reduction of environmental impact, far below the permitted minimum."

During the implementation of the necessary steps that are part of the conditions for obtaining the A - integrated permit, work was carried out in several chapters, which are:

•         measuring emissions into the air,
•         wastewater quality monitoring,
•         noise measurement,
•         appropriate waste treatment,
•         regular reporting on the level of electricity and water consumption and
•         measures for greater energy efficiency.

"In addition to monitoring, the permit also defines the methods and timeframe for reporting and submitting monitoring data to the competent institutions," Replek emphasizes .

Well-being for over 400 employees

The presence and success of "Replek" as a company simultaneously means well-being and a secure existence for over 400 professionals who earn their monthly income in this company.

In addition to constantly being oriented towards the engagement and employment of professional staff, the company also helps improve the educational process and create competitive skills among young people through its internship programs.

Thus, in 2023, the company implemented the " I, Replek Intern " program, which enabled young people to strengthen their work skills.

Within the framework of this program, students from the Faculty of Pharmacy, Economics, FEIT and Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University "Sts. Cyril and Methodius" in Skopje, students from the "Marija Kiri Sklodovska" High School in Skopje, as well as several students studying abroad, under the mentorship of experienced experts from the company "Replek", acquired useful specific practical knowledge and skills that will contribute to their further career and professional development.

This program was rounded off by awarding three jobs and one job.

"Strengthening practical skills and knowledge, building strong connections with educational institutions, and opening the company to young professionals is our goal."

That was also the motive for starting such a program, and we are truly pleased by the fact that there was great interest in it among young people.

"We will continue to cooperate with our partners and invite all young people who are interested in these professions to be part of future internship programs," said Dojranka Anastasovska Cvetkovska, Human Resources Director at "Replek".

This program at "Replek" continued to be implemented in the following years, and thus the company proved that it cares about the well-being of already employed experts, but also for those who are yet to enter the labor market and build their careers in the pharmaceutical industry.

Through positive financial results to well-being for all

The positive financial results of "Replek" are not the only reason why this company is an equal member of the family of 200 LARGEST AND SUCCESSFUL companies in North Macedonia.

Caring for employees, customers, the environment, and investing in the future are just another reason why this company is only recording progress and positive results.

Known for its quality pharmaceutical products, "Replek" has for years been synonymous with the production of medicines in North Macedonia according to the highest standards.

It is a company that simultaneously follows pharmaceutical trends in all developed European countries.

And hard work yields results. Proof of this are the positive financial reports, as well as the constant conquest of new markets around the world and the increase in exports.

In 2023, the company generated revenue of 1,652,430,777 denars , and in one year, it recorded a revenue growth of 279.60% .

With a profit growth of 188.63%, "Replek" ranked 177th among the largest companies in North Macedonia and 109th among the most successful companies in North Macedonia.

That same year, the company saw an increase in sales in foreign markets.

Sales outside North Macedonia increased by 43% , and the company's positions were also strengthened in the domestic market, where growth of 37% was achieved compared to 2022.

Hence, it is clear that in large part the success of "Replek" is due precisely to the change in export strategy and the increased presence of Macedonian medicines in pharmacies on the foreign market.

Satisfied customers, satisfied employees, and satisfied shareholders, caring for their well-being is the perfect recipe for success that "Replek" has been applying for years.
