Market Position/ History

Founded in 1886 in Hamelin, Germany, Dr. Paul Lohmann GmbH & Co. KGaA began as a manufacturer of reduced iron for medical applications and gradually evolved into a specialized producer of high-quality mineral salts. During the early 20th century, the company expanded its portfolio through trademark registrations, patented calcium preparations, and the development of branded pharmaceutical products. Despite operational disruptions during World War II, the company resumed full production by 1945 and relocated to larger facilities in Kirchohsen in 1955, strengthening its manufacturing capabilities.

From the 1960s onward, the company underwent structural transformation and generational leadership transition, while expanding its technological base through patented production processes and the establishment of a second production site in Lüneburg. By the 1980s and 1990s, it had achieved GMP certification and reinforced its quality standards, supporting international market expansion. Entering the 2000s, the company accelerated global growth through overseas sales offices, strategic product line integrations, enhanced R&D infrastructure, and internationally recognized certifications, positioning itself as a leading global supplier of mineral salts for pharmaceutical, nutritional, food, and industrial applications.

In recent years, the company continued to strengthen its innovation and sustainability focus through new product launches, biopharmaceutical capabilities, food safety certifications, digital initiatives, and sustainability recognitions, while maintaining its long-standing reputation for quality, regulatory compliance, and customer-oriented solutions in global markets.
