About Kreussler
Chemische Fabrik Kreussler & Co. GmbH was founded in 1912 by Christian Kreussler and is today run as a mid-sized family business in its fourth generation. At its headquarters in Wiesbaden-Biebrich, pharmaceutical products as well as detergents and cleaning agents for professional textile care have been manufactured since 1927. The product range includes pharmaceuticals in liquid and semi-solid dosage forms, medical devices and cosmetics in the fields of Oral Health Care, Phlebology and Proctology, as well as liquid and powdered detergent and cleaning products for textile cleaning companies and laundries. Production follows defined formulations by mixing the raw materials in agitator vessels, without chemical transformation on an industrial scale. The Pharma division operates to GMP standards and has been inspected among others by the US FDA; more than two thirds of pharma revenue is generated abroad, and textile care products are sold in over 70 countries.
