History
In 1936 Pharma Peter was founded in Berlin, by Mr. Herbert Peter as a company distributing pharmacy supplies. Originally the company’s business partners were pharmacies and pharmaceutical wholesalers. After the second world war, Mr Herbert Peter continued running the company by himself. In 1962 his son Mr. Michael N. Peter joined Pharma Peter and helped the company grow and expand.
In 1980, Mr. Herbert Peter retired from the company due to old age.
In 1982, the subsidiary Canea Pharma, Chemisch-Pharmazeutische Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH was founded. All sales activities were to be coordinated here. The company’s own production lines were set up, now operating under its own name, Pharma Peter EU. The company grew rapidly needing more space. This was realised in early 2000 by moving the companies to a new and significantly larger building at Tarpenring 12 in Hamburg, Langenhorn. Finally, there was enough space to accommodate the rapidly growing production lines, plus offices, plus dispatch lines including its own vehicles.
In 1999 the company expanded again, Velag Pharma GmbH, a further subsidiary was founded. It serves exclusively the pharmaceutical wholesale and export business.
In 2007 Salmix®, a liquorish manufacturing company became the latest acquisition by Michael N Peter. The production site for these traditionally, hand crafted liquorish delicacies is a modern building in Sievershütten, Schleswig Holstein which since was expanded and the manufacturing process somewhat modernized.
In 2014 Mr. Peter-Michael Thom, a very experienced pharmaceutical businessman acquired the group of companies. Always advancing, the Pharma Peter Group has become a leading manufacturer of health products sold in Pharmacies, online and on site. The newly acquired in-house capsulation process advanced the flexible and efficient ways new products can reach the market.
In 2019 Tithon Pharma GmbH was founded. Newly developed specialised lifestyle products have found their own home here.
