Back to the roots
The origins of Spitzner
Our company history goes back to 1949 - it all began in the ‘Pharmaceutical Laboratory Ettlingen’ founded by pharmacist Professor Dr. Wolfram Spitzner in 1949. Pinimenthol, a key cold and cough product, was developed here. With W. Spitzner Arzneimittelfabrik GmbH, we continue to live up to over 75 years of company tradition as a family business with origins in medicine and pharmacy and a passionate conviction in the healing power of plants.
