PT Darya-Varia Laboratoria (DVL) began operations in 1976 as the first company in Southeast Asia to produce soft gelatin capsules. In order to increase product scope and to strengthen its position in the industry, DVL undertook a series of acquisitions and has now become Indonesia's second largest pharmaceutical company in terms of market share. Today, DVL has evolved into a fully integrated pharmaceutical operation producing, marketing and distributing more than 380 quality products in over 700 forms.
