Farmina’s roots date back to 1908, when  Bolesław Jawornicki founded Spółka Akcyjna Pharma in the centre of Krakow. Despite two world wars, the company’s nationalisation and then reprivatisation in 1990, Farmina continues to build on the rich history, tradition and manufacturing excellence of its founding father.
