history
Foundation and new beginning
On New Year's Day in 1884, Emil Ebert (1856–1906) and Philipp Jacobi jointly founded the Ebert + Jacobi company , a "wholesale chemical, drug, material and dye business". Emil Ebert left the company after just a few years and died in 1906; his name has remained part of the company name to this day.
Friedrich Jacobi, the son of Philipp Jacobi, was planned to be his successor, but died before that and his sons-in-law, Fritz Müller and his brother-in-law Ludwig Schüller, who joined the company in 1923, took over management until 1945.
Shortly before the end of the Second World War, during the bombing raid on Würzburg on March 16, 1945 , the company building was completely destroyed. As early as July 1945, business operations could initially be temporarily resumed. Medicines had become a scarce commodity and regional supplies gained in importance. The reconstruction in the former premises in downtown Würzburg was completed in 1959.
Soon the company began to expand. With the opening of the branch in Heidenheim an der Brenz in 1965, the delivery area was expanded.
Subsidiaries
The Ebert + Jacobi group of companies was created in 1987 through targeted takeovers of private pharmaceutical wholesalers:
- spangropharm GmbH & Co. KG : Effective January 1, 1987, Ebert + Jacobi took over the Spangropharm company in Spangenberg in northern Hesse . The company was founded on May 30, 1916 by the pharmacist and chemist Max Woelm - also owner of the Woelm'schen Apotheke in Spangenberg - as a wholesale business for drugs and pharmaceutical raw materials. In 1934 the company was relocated to Eschwege / Werra. In 1946 the pharmaceutical wholesaler came back to this town of Spangenberg.
- Ebert + Jacobi Holdermann GmbH & Co. KG : In 2004 Ebert + Jacobi took over 50 percent of the shares in the ailing private wholesaler Holdermann in Baden-Baden . At the end of 2012, a further 13.3 percent of the shares followed. In autumn 2014 the distribution center in Baden-Baden was closed and the customer base was sold for 2.8 million euros. The branch in Ludwigshafen was brought into a joint venture with Fiebig.
- Ebert + Jacobi Finze GmbH Co. KG : With effect from July 1, 2007, the Ebert + Jacobi group took over the private pharmaceutical wholesaler Eduard Finze GmbH & Co KG . The company was founded in 1922 in Aussig on the Elbe in northern Bohemia (today: Ústí nad Labem , Czech Republic ) by Eduard Finze. New start after displacement and escape from 1948 in Schwandorf in the Upper Palatinate . In 1994 the company moved to Pfreimd with Christel Finze and Roland Eder .
- Fiebig Ebert + Jacobi GmbH & Co. KG , based in Ludwigshafen am Rhein , was created in 2014 after years of successful cooperation from a merger of Fiebig GmbH & Co. KG and Ebert + Jacobi GmbH & Co. KG.
