In the 30s of the 20th century, the incidence of malaria in Russia exceeded 9 million people. The drug Akrikhin, which gave the name to the enterprise, saved the country from the outbreak of the epidemic. On October 19, 1936, the first industrial batch of Akrikhin weighing 22 kg was received. During the first years of the Chemical Plant's existence, 6 production buildings were built and put into operation, capacity was increased tens of times, and by 1939 AKRIKHIN became the largest chemical and pharmaceutical enterprise producing the most important medicines for the country's population: Akrikhin, Streptocide white and red, Narcotic ether, sulfidine.
1940s:
everything for the front!
The words “Everything for the front, everything for Victory!” became the goal and meaning of life of the plant during the war years. More than 1,200 Akrikhanovites fought on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. 362 people did not return from the front.
In 1941, in a record 72 hours (!), Akrihinovites launched the production of bottles with a combustible mixture - the famous “KS” (Molotov cocktail). The production was extremely dangerous, the only salvation from burns was a ditch with water, into which you had to jump if the COP got on your clothes or skin. Thanks to this ditch at the entrance to the workshop, none of the workers were seriously injured.
In the post-war years, a course was taken to restore and increase the plant's capacity. By 1948, pharmaceutical production had reached pre-war levels.
1950s:
we will implement the plan
and overfulfill
In the 50s, AKRIKHIN increased its production capacity at an unprecedented pace, developed about 80 new products (both substances and finished dosage forms) and became the flagship of the Soviet chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
During this period, AKRIKHIN launched the first antibiotic, syntomycin, and also became the first and only manufacturer of synthetic sex hormones in the country. Since 1951, AKRIKHIN began producing substances of anti-tuberculosis drugs, and since 1953, ready-made forms in the form of tablets. To this day, AKRIKHIN is one of the country's largest manufacturers of drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis.
1960s:
course for large-scale
construction
By 1963, the domestic pharmaceutical industry satisfied the demand for medicines only (!) by 77%, which in those years was considered insufficient. AKRIKHIN has set a course for large-scale construction and reconstruction of production. In the 60s, 6 new production buildings, a laboratory, two plant management buildings were built, and a large-scale reconstruction of seven existing buildings took place. All this was built under the conditions of a working plant and the implementation of strict production plans.
In the year of its 30th anniversary, AKRIKHIN received a high government award - the Order of the Red Banner of Labor
1970s:
unprecedented
production growth
By 1973, construction, which began in the 60s, was completed, and the workshops were gaining production capacity. The growth rate indicators were expressed in convincing figures - 75.5% in 1975 compared to the 1970 level, 65% in 1980 compared to the 1975 level.
AKRIKHIN provided 24% of the total production of pharmaceutical substances in the USSR and supplied substances to 44 enterprises in the country.
The 70s became the most active period for the export of medicines from the AKRIKHIN plant. During the Soviet period, in the list of product exporting states
54 countries of the world were listed, i.e. In some cases, finished medicines from global pharmaceutical companies were produced on the basis of active ingredients produced by the Soviet AKRIKHIN plant. AKRIKHIN confidently holds its position as the flagship of the Soviet pharmaceutical industry.
1980s:
new economic
conditions
In the 80s, the growth rate of production at the AKRIKHIN plant remained high: 36.3% in 1985 compared to the 1980 level and 33.3% in 1990 compared to the 1985 level.
In 1988, a new milestone began in the history of AKRIKHIN - work under conditions of complete self-financing and self-financing. Due to the rise in prices for energy resources and raw materials (more than 300 types were used!), the production of substances became unprofitable. AKRIKHIN was looking for its own path of development in new economic conditions. An important step in this direction was the signing in 1988 of an agreement with the company KRKA (Slovenia) to launch the first cooperation project for the production of finished dosage forms. This project was a turning point in terms of the introduction of new technologies and the quality of finished products and predetermined the further development of the company.
1990s:
from survival
to a strategy for success
In the early 90s, the plant's management decided to redirect from the unprofitable synthesis of substances (more than 75% of production) to the production of finished medicines.
In 1990, AKRIKHIN was the first enterprise in the industry to enter into a licensing agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) for the production of cardiovascular drugs. As a result, in 1992, at the existing production site of AKRIKHIN, together with BMS, the country's first industrial workshop was built, fully complying with GMP standards. The 20-year collaboration between AKRIKHIN and Bristol-Myers Squibb remains the longest-term licensing project in the history of the Russian pharmaceutical industry. This project became a turning point in terms of the introduction of new technologies and predetermined the future fate of AKRIKHIN as a manufacturer of finished drugs.
In 1995, AKRIKHIN was the first among industry enterprises to launch an import substitution program - the development, registration and production of drugs not produced in Russia. It includes 15 drugs most in demand in healthcare. At the same time, it was decided to produce drugs under the INN with the prefix Acri.
In 1996, with the release of the first antidiabetic drug, AKRIKHIN began to develop one of the most important areas - diabetes mellitus. In total, since this time, the company has launched 6 oral hypoglycemic drugs on the market, all of which are the company’s own developments.
The transition to a new economic path was completed with the creation of a marketing research center in 1996 and the beginning of the production of drugs under its own trade names.

The year 2007 was marked by the beginning of a strategic partnership with the largest Polish pharmaceutical company Polpharma. The partnership involves close cooperation between companies in the development, production, promotion and distribution of medicines.
