North GmbH takes over Infirmarius

08/01/2014

The insolvent pharmaceutical company Infirmarius is saved. The company was sold to North GmbH - Pharmaceuticals, which is held for the most part by the brothers Bernd and Franz Kohl. 18 of the previously 28 jobs will be retained after the takeover.

Infirmarius GmbH is a pharmaceutical company specializing in complex homeopathy based in Göppingen. The pharmacist Willi Hägele from Göppingen founded the company around 60 years ago and since 2003 has been part of the French Group Lehning. Infirmarius sells drops and injections, tablets and tea blends as well as the well-known Swedish drink, a gastric elixir with a long tradition. Its core competence is primarily the treatment of infectious diseases and mental disorders. A change in the licensing practice for pharmaceuticals as well as a strategic reorientation of the French parent company had led to the petition for insolvency.

Infirmarius is acquired by North GmbH mainly by the founders of the companies magnet - activ Arzneimittel and St. Johanser Naturmittel GmbH, Franz and Bernd Kohl. Both have been at home in the field of complementary and regulatory medicine for over 30 years and have been committed to preserving naturopathic concepts and medicines for decades.
