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.

On an area of approx. 17,000 m², we provide a comprehensive modern production process and quality assurance in accordance with strictly controlled specifications that apply to the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. The core areas are the expansion of our own brand portfolio and pharmaceutical contract manufacturing.
