HanAll Biopharma's journey began with the establishment of SunKyung Pharmaceutical Company in 1973. Fast forward to today, the company is a well-known name in the pharmaceutical industry, thanks to its relentless drive for innovation and patient-centric approach. While other players were relying on imported drugs, HanAll took a bold step and started producing its own medications domestically, starting with the introduction of Alvacin in 1974.
The success of Alvacin proved to be a turning point for the company, which went on to secure an export license in 1984 and set up its state-of-the-art GMP factory in Daejeon, solidifying its position as an industry leader.
But HanAll Biopharma continued to push boundaries by collaborating with global manufacturers to bring top-quality drugs to market, including Bactroban ointment with Beecham and the highly-effective antibiotics Tomiporan and Tomiron with Toyama Pharmaceutical.
Not content with just offering existing medications, HanAll Biopharma also focused on developing new drugs and making incremental improvements to existing ones. This dedication led to the company securing a portfolio of 118 medicines by 2006, cementing its status as one of the top pharmaceutical companies in Korea.
From humble beginnings to becoming a pharmaceutical powerhouse, HanAll Biopharma's unwavering commitment to innovation and improving patient outcomes has been at the heart of its success.
