The JGL Group is further strengthening its position in the pharmacy market through portfolio expansion and a new partnership with the respected US brand Polar Ice. Adrialab, a JGL Group company specialising in the production of cosmetics, dietary supplements, and medical devices, has become the exclusive distributor of Polar Ice in Croatia – a brand widely recognised for its cooling effect after sports and physical activity. The agreement, signed with Oleander Brands International in early November 2025, includes both distribution rights and transfer of production to Adrialab.
With this transfer, Adrialab assumes responsibility for distributing and supplying Polar Ice products across the country, ensuring continuous availability in pharmacies and providing professional support to pharmacy partners. Through this collaboration, the JGL Group expands the range of products offered in pharmacies, further strengthening a portfolio built on trusted, traditional pharmacy formulations and longstanding consumer confidence.
"Polar Ice is a favourite among athletes and users seeking reliable relief after sports and physical activity, thanks to its strong cooling effect and proven quality. By adding Polar Ice to our portfolio, Adrialab broadens its offer with products that already enjoy high consumer trust. Adrialab has a strong professional and logistical foundation to ensure uninterrupted supply and to drive further brand development together with our pharmacy partners," said Vice Buljanović, Director of Adrialab.
The new brand naturally complements established products such as JGL Baby Ointment, Jecol Ointment, Cinkoderm Paste, the Pantexol line, Combusten, and Dermospray, further strengthening the JGL Group’s recognisable and robust pharmacy platform.
