"As Henry Ford once said: 'Meeting is the beginning, staying together is progress, but working together is success.' Our strength lies in the ability to collaborate, combining talents and ideas to create solutions that shape a better future for all of us."
"An excellent team can achieve a lot. We can meet the highest international quality standards in every market where we provide our products. Furthermore, the cooperation of Kalceks with pharmaceutical experts in the company "Grindeks" and producing active pharmaceutical ingredients within the same concern allows us to be independent of raw material manufacturers, regularly supplement the range of medicines and successfully compete in the global pharmaceutical market."
"I am very pleased to be part of the Kalceks team. We are professionals in our field, and our extensive knowledge and years of experience enable us to move forward with enthusiasm and achieve even the most ambitious goals. The Kalceks team has a strong and cohesive team spirit that permeates our daily work."
"Our Kalceks team's success formula is "one for all and all for one." Working together brings about three key conditions: hard work, a strong sense of responsibility, and genuine satisfaction. No one is born a specialist; one becomes a specialist, and we prove that every day in the Registration Department and throughout the company."
"The Kalceks team is determined, fearless, and ambitious. Working in a smaller company is much easier because you can make decisions more quickly and flexibly, grow and develop as a team member faster, and the team is like a family."
"I'm proud to be part of the Kalceks team. I believe that our team is the most valuable asset in the whole company and we are delivering excellent work in excellent atmosphere. We are cautiously learning, growing and developing personal skills that help us to improve the results."
Working for the hospital segment and offering pharmaceutical products to wholesalers, we focus on the highest standards and quality requirements, observing all binding legislation in force in each specific country where our medicines are available.
