# From Heritage to Innovation: The Evolution of Kalbe Consumer Health
The journey of our organization traces back to 1956 in Semarang, where we first established our roots as a modest trading firm specializing in pharmaceuticals and medical essentials. By 1960, this vision matured into the formal establishment of PT Sakafarma Sehat, a company dedicated to both the manufacturing and distribution of its own high-quality medicinal products.
## A Legacy of Strategic Growth
As the decades passed, the pharmaceutical landscape underwent significant shifts. Entering the 1990s, we recognized that the market was becoming increasingly dynamic and competitive. To ensure long-term sustainability and operational excellence, we forged a strategic alliance in 1997 with PT Kalbe Farma Tbk—the nation's premier pharmaceutical leader. This partnership marked a pivotal transformation, resulting in the rebranding of the entity to PT Sakafarma Laboratories.
By August 2009, the trajectory of our growth reached a significant milestone when PT Kalbe Farma Tbk (KLBF) acquired full ownership of the company. Today, as a key arm of the Kalbe group, we continue to uphold a standard of excellence that keeps us at the forefront of consumer health.
