Alkaloid has officially opened the corporate Museum within its site in Avtokomanda, offering an authentic chronological journey of the company’s history, built on years of hard work, knowledge, experience, and quality.

The Museum’s initial collection features tangible artifacts from the company’s modest beginnings, tracing a nine-decade journey of steady growth, development, globalization, and modernization, culminating in today’s Alkaloid—a brand supported by thousands of dedicated employees and millions of satisfied customers.

The Museum of Alkaloid AD Skopje, spanning over 300 m², features meticulously selected elements from the company’s extensive history and the professional lives of generations of Alkaloid employees. Among the exhibits are the first Alkaloid film from 1950, the oldest box and original authorization for Caffetin production from 1957, the first packages of the iconic Becutan from 1978, the history of Botanicals (Bilka) with the Good Nature brand dating back to 1966, the oldest industrial machines, a retrospective of the company’s logo evolution, and samples of the first editions of the so-called Alkaloid factory newspapers from 1971. The collection also includes exhibits from Alkaloid’s more recent products and brands, such as the BlokMax brand from 2012, Proculin extensions from 2017, Becutan Kids Vits from 2019, the Multi Essence portfolio from 2020, and the company’s flagship cephalosporin portfolio.

“This space holds countless precious memories and pivotal moments from the professional lives of generations of Alkaloid employees. It chronicles the consistent growth of a successful Macedonian story. Today, new generations are carrying this story beyond Macedonian borders, with our products now reaching over 50 countries worldwide. We have gathered exhibits that span from our modest beginnings, when 15 workers in two plants produced 350 kg of pharmaceutical raw materials, to where we stand today—approaching our ninth decade with over 80,000 m² of manufacturing facilities, thousands of dedicated employees, and millions of satisfied customers," noted the CEO and MB President of Alkaloid, Zhivko Mukaetov.

Over its extensive history, Alkaloid has consistently demonstrated resilience and the ability to swiftly adapt to changes. The cornerstones of its successful development include ongoing investments, product quality, and a professional team at the helm of operations. A fundamental principle for the company has always been its dedication to investing in its community, with a strong emphasis on collective social responsibility guiding its broader societal involvement.
