The Queisser Pharma GmbH & Co. KG is a medium-sized pharmaceutical company based in Flensburg .
history
It emerged from a merger of two companies, Queisser Pharma, founded by the pharmacist Alfred Queisser in Hamburg , and Doppelherz Pharma, created by the Essen-based druggist Josef Peter Hennes . Both companies merged to form what is now Queisser Pharma , which in turn has been part of the Flensburg-based HGDF Familienholding Ltd. since the late 1970s . & Co. KG is owned by a family company whose head office was founded in Flensburg as early as 1738 and is also the majority owner of Flensburger Pilsener . Today Queisser is an international company with around 500 employees, whose product portfolio is active in sub-segments of the health market.
The company's economic focus was initially on the production and marketing of the "Energy Tonic " Doppelherz developed by Hennes in 1919 . In the 1990s, the range was expanded to include various products in the field of vitamins , minerals and other food supplements under the Doppelherz brand . Outside of the pharmacy , Doppelherz has achieved market leadership in many sub-segments, especially in the area of vitamins and minerals.
In 2006, Queisser Pharma introduced the “Doppelherz system” product line, which is sold exclusively through pharmacies. A range of food supplements with a special composition is sold under this name. The subsidiary Doppelherz Pharma GmbH, based in Flensburg, is the competence center for chemical-synthetic and individual, well-documented herbal medicines in the EU.
