With our more than 100 years of expertise
in harnessing the benefits of rare medicinal
plants, we continuously develop new formulations and combine tried-and-tested
products with new, highly effective raw
materials to find innovative and effective
herbal remedies. Our customers’ needs are
always our priority.
Our trial cultivation sites, we grow our
own varieties that allow for an optimum
release of the active ingredients. Subsequently, we try to find regional partners
for cultivation. All our suppliers are
screened in a comprehensive qualification
process. For us, it is especially important
that all our partners pursue the same strict
environmental and social standards to
which our company adheres.
Our company sites are where we feel
at home, and we continuously invest in
making them even better. We take our
responsibility for our employees and the
environment very seriously. At our sites,
we use state-of-the-art environmental
technology and generate our own elecÂ
tricity. The atmosphere at our workplace is
defined by our spirit of community.
We prefer using regional raw material
sources and decentralised warehouses for
distributing our products to avoid long
and frequent transports.
Our product information is transparent
and honest.
It is important to us to return all residual
or waste materials from our production
to the cycle and design our packaging in
a way as to make recycling easy for our
customers.

We are happy to receive specific questions
from our customers regarding our production processes or our products. We take
criticism very seriously and always check if
there is something we can do better.

Our sustainability team constantly works
with all relevant departments (Research
and Development, Purchasing, Distribution, Marketing) to identify potential
problems as early as possible and find
out where we can further improve our
processes.
