Kreussler

What Kreussler does

Kreussler (legal entity: Chemische Fabrik Kreussler & Co. GmbH) is a privately held, fourth-generation family-owned German specialty chemical company founded in 1912 and headquartered in Wiesbaden. The company operates two divisions: Kreussler Pharma, which develops and manufactures pharmaceutical products in oral health, phlebology (varicose vein treatment), and proctology, including the FDA-approved sclerosing agent Aethoxysklerol (marketed as ASCLERA in the US) and the newly acquired Fibrovein franchise; and Kreussler Textile Care, which produces washing and care products, dosing systems, and water treatment equipment for commercial laundries and professional textile cleaning operations worldwide.

The product portfolio rests on proprietary chemical formulations developed and manufactured exclusively at the Wiesbaden facility. Key pharmaceutical assets include Polidocanol-based sclerosing agents manufactured under GMP standards, the first alcohol-free 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash (DYNEXIDIN FORTE), and the K.I.S.S. training platform for sclerotherapy. Textile Care innovations include the patented SYSTEMK4 solvent system (introduced 2010), Lanadol X-PRESS wet cleaning (2017), the EASY T 2.0 dosing system with operational data acquisition, and recent launches of OTTALIN OptiBleach, OTTALIN BLANC Premium, and OptiCare 50° GREEN, all engineered around low-temperature (50°C) sustainable performance.

The business model is B2B and primarily sales-led, with revenue generated from direct sales of chemicals, dosing hardware, and pharmaceutical products to commercial laundries, healthcare providers (physicians, pharmacies, medical practices), hotels, restaurants, and medical facilities. Distribution is handled through own subsidiaries and experienced distribution partners across more than 70 countries, with field-based application technicians providing on-site consultation and process optimization. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; pharma terms specify net payment within 30 days. Over two-thirds of pharmaceutical revenue is generated internationally. The company maintains ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications for textile production, GMP certification for pharmaceutical manufacturing, and FDA approval for selected products.
