Our History

Overview

In 1969, Apt. Drs. Rudy Soetikno, a young pharmacist serving in the Indonesian Army, noticed the scarcity of medicines around him. To address this issue, he decided to utilize his knowledge of pharmaceuticals by setting up a small pharmacy with friends to produce tablets. This pharmacy quickly gained a reputation for producing highly effective prescription drugs, enabling its expansion into other pharmaceutical products, facilities, and markets. By 1978, its products were available across all parts of Indonesia. The name “Dexa” was derived from the Greek word for ten, symbolizing perfection.

Thus began Dexa Group, now one of the global’s top pharmaceutical companies and a key strategic asset for Indonesia. The group applies its expertise in discovery, formulation, manufacturing, and marketing to supply highly sophisticated pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, supplements, and herbal medicines throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe. It continues to maintain its trademark emphasis on producing medicines of the highest quality. In fact, Dexa Group also works closely with the Indonesian Pharmaceutical Association to improve compliance standards across the entire industry.
