History of the company

In its 86-year history, the company, which began its journey on the eve of the Great Patriotic War as a strategic facility, almost immediately launched the production of various types of medicines, from bandages and first—aid kits to complex multicomponent drugs with a wide range of effects. The company's team has accumulated extensive experience, starting with the development and synthesis of substances and ending with the production of finished medicines.

It was a long journey at first

1935 - A story by the People's Commissar of Health of the USSR about public administration in the Far East.
1937 - the first architectural specialists arrived at the plant.
1939 - Khabarovsk Chemical and Pharmaceutical Plant was commissioned.
1940 - familiarization with the instructions on the main international lecture disciplines of the Far Eastern taiga: Manchurian aralia, lemonade, rosehip, hawthorn, Eugene.
1944 - the plant was transferred to the government and became known as the State Pharmaceutical Plant No. 12.

Over this long period of time, it has been developing - scientific and practical experience has been gained, human resources have been formed, production technology and equipment have been improved.

From 1946 to the early 1960s, ampoule production was mechanized at the plant, a bacteriological laboratory was established, production was constantly expanding and output was increasing. After the ampoule building was launched, ointment, galena and tablet shops were organized, and later the laboratory building was put into operation. In 1990, the laboratory building was put into operation, and in 1992 the plant was reorganized into JSC Dalkhimpharm. Since the mid-2000s, a number of new drugs have been launched.

From the very first days of the plant's existence, production has been aimed at producing vital ready-made medicines to provide the population of the Russian Federation and, first of all, the territory of the Far East and Eastern Siberia.

Due to its close ties with medical and pharmacological science, the introduction of new technologies, and the constant updating of technological equipment, the plant occupies one of the most important places in the Russian pharmaceutical industry.

Historical news

1935 - By order of the People's Commissariat of Health of the RSFSR dated March 25, 1935, the construction of a pharmaceutical plant in the Far East was determined.

In 1937, the first pharmacists arrived at the plant. They were Albert Albertovich Storch and his wife Olga Vasilyevna, Ralph Georgievich Limberg.

1939 - At the end of February 1939, the plant produced its first products. In the early years of its operation, the plant produced fifty types of medical products. February 27, 1939 is the birthday of Khabarovsk Chemical and Pharmaceutical University. The plant was put into operation.

1940- the development of preparations from medicinal wild plants of the Far Eastern taiga began: Manchurian aralia, lemongrass, rosehip. Vitamin tincture of rosehip is widely used in medical institutions of the Far East and the Far North.

By 1941, the medicinal products of the new plant were widely known in the regions of the Far East, Transbaikalia, and Eastern Siberia. A young experimental laboratory began to play a very serious role in his work. Her small group started developing new drugs based on the unique medicinal resources of the Far Eastern taiga. This is how the now widely known tinctures of rosehip, lemongrass, hawthorn, and Manchurian aralia appeared. The tincture of the so–called root of life, ginseng, produced at the plant, has become especially popular. The resources of local plant raw materials spoke eloquently about the need to expand production facilities, support services, and packaging production.

1944 – Khabarovsk Chemical and Pharmaceutical Plant was transferred to the jurisdiction of Glavmedfarmprom and became known as Goskhimfarmzavod No. 12.

1946 – Ampoule production is mechanized. Instead of a manual drawbar, eight-spindle Ambeg semi-automatic machines are installed.   A site for the manufacture of ampoules on semi-automatic machines is being organized.

1948 – Machinery and equipment arrive at the factory. Manual labor is increasingly being displaced. Workshops are being reconstructed. Production is expanding and output is increasing. The fleet of semi-automatic ampoule production machines has been expanded.

1951 – The bacteriological laboratory was established. The plant was able to produce on-site analyses, which accelerated the release of solutions in ampoules. Production wire sewing machines are installed in the cardboard shop. Glucose solution is produced in large-capacity ampoules, which was in great demand in the Far East.
