development.  Investments planned for the nearest years to come are aimed at
development and production of products with high added value and at
strengthening of Olainfarm's positions in western markets.  I am happy to see
that the resources invested over the last five years today ensure our stable
position among the pharmaceutical companies in European and Eastern markets. 
This is also confirmed by several important agreements signed with
international cooperation partners last year and similar ones are to come this
year too“Mr. Valerijs Maligins, Chairman of the Board of Olainfarm admits. 

The necessity to introduce new products in ampoules has become more important

intended for treatment of cardiovascular diseases. This medicine was invented
and developed by group of Latvian scientists under guidance of professor Ivars
Kalvins. Among other forms, this medication will also be available in ampoules.
