Mission

Engelhard Arzneimittel is a medium-sized pharmaceutical company based in the Main-Kinzig district.

200 employees help us to serve our customers.

The company focuses on two principle types of preparations, i.e. respiratory tract therapeutics and pharmaceutical products for the treatment of various skin diseases. Research and quality assurance of the medicine Prospan, with the active ingredient from ivy leaves, has enabled Engelhard Arzneimittel to set the standards for rational phytotherapy in respect of respiratory disease.

The family business was founded in 1872 by the pharmacist Karl Phillip Engelhard.

His Iceland moss pastilles for cough and hoarseness became the first finished medicine in Germany (Isla Moos®). Through continuous innovative product development and optimisation, our market position has been able to be improved constantly - an important prerequisite for safeguarding our independence and self-reliance.
