Jerzy Starak is one of the Polish entrepreneurs whose activities contributed to the modernization and innovative development of the Polish economy. A visionary full of courage and determination in realizing ever new business challenges.

Jerzy Starak played a key role in the development of the Polish pharmaceutical sector. In 2000, he became the owner of Polpharma S.A. Ambitious modernization processes, huge investments in research and laboratory infrastructure and cooperation with top class specialists made Polpharma S.A. a European leader in the production of generic drugs.

In 2010, Jerzy Starak, inspired by the global direction in pharmaceutical development, made the decision to expand his business activities into production of biological drugs.
