In the 1968\u201369 season, they won first place in the Vojvodina lower-league. In 1977, the club changed its name again, this time to KK Agropanonija. Four years later, in 1981, they again became champions of Vojvodina, which has won them the right to participate in the First B League, where they competed under the name KK Vr\u0161ac. In 1989, Inex Hemofarm became principal sponsor and club changed its name to KK Inex.The Hemofarm years: 1992\u20132012[edit]Under the sponsorship of the Hemofarm Group since 1992, the club went from average participants of the lower leagues in Vojvodina to one of the leading clubs in the country. In the first season under the name of KK Hemofarm, they competed in the First League of Vojvodina and from year to year, went a step forward. In the 1995\u201396 season, team was led by Marin Sedla\u010dek, a young and ambitious professional, who led the team to the higher league.Hemofarm’s top league status was achieved in the 1997\u201398 season, under the guidance of coach Slobodan Luki\u0107. The first season among the elite kept their survival, but the following season, 1999\u20132000, they finished fourth in the standings, providing a first participation in Europe \u2013 in the Kora\u0107 Cup. As newcomers to the competition, the 2000\u201301 season, led by coach \u017deljko Lukaji\u0107, they reached the finals, where they were stopped by Spain’s Unicaja M\u00e1laga, which was headed by Bo\u017eidar Maljkovi\u0107. That same year, the team’s quality was confirmed with placement at the National Cup final tournament, which was organized in Vr\u0161ac for the first time, at the opening of the Millennium Centar.In the 2001\u201302 season, they played the playoff semifinal of the national championship, where they were, this time, stopped by Budu\u0107nost after five dramatic games. In the next season, they played in the final of the National Cup, where they were defeated by FMP, and in the 2003\u201304 season, were also close to the title, playing National League finals against Partizan. The “Black and Whites” celebrated series victory in the fourth game of the playoffs, with the uncertain final basket by Vlado \u0160\u0107epanovi\u0107 scored with the sound of sirens for the overall final series 3\u20131 win.The 2004\u201305 season was the most successful in the club’s history. As rookies, they won the regional Adriatic League. Hemofarm finished the regular season in first place in the standings, and at the Final Eight in Belgrade, they eliminated Bosna, FMP and Partizan in the final. That same season, Vr\u0161ac was again hosting the final tournament of the National Cup, but Hemofarm lost to Budu\u0107nost in the first game. In the ULEB Cup, they reached the semifinals, where they were stopped by the Greek team Makedonikos.In the 2005\u201306 season, they played once again in the ULEB Cup semifinals and took part in the Adriatic League Final Eight.

Reaching the Eurocup Final Eight in Turin was a great success for Serbian basketball, especially as Hemofarm had the youngest team in the whole competition. In the first match of the tournament in Italy the “Pharmacists” have made another surprise, defeating favored Dynamo Moscow, but are uncertain in the semifinals in a precarious lost to Lietuvos rytas, which went on to win the competition.In the middle of the 2011\u201312 season, Hemofarm Group stopped to finance the club after 20 years because of the financial crisis in the company.
