# From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leadership: The Evolution of Kalbe Consumer Health
The journey of our organization began in 1956 within the city of Semarang, where we first established ourselves as a dedicated trading entity for pharmaceuticals and essential medical supplies. As our footprint expanded, we formalized our operations in 1960 by founding PT Sakafarma Sehat, a company committed to the manufacturing and strategic marketing of its own proprietary medical products.
## A Legacy of Strategic Growth
As we navigated the evolving healthcare landscape through the early 1990s, we recognized that the industry was becoming increasingly sophisticated 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 transformative chapter, rebranding our entity as PT Sakafarma Laboratories. By August 2009, PT Kalbe Farma Tbk fully integrated our operations, solidifying our position as a core division of the country's most prominent health enterprise.
