What Veyx-Pharma does

Veyx-Pharma GmbH is a family-owned German veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturer headquartered in Schwarzenborn/Knüll, Hessen, founded in 1984 by Armin Heß and today co-led with his daughter Dr. med. vet. Silke Engl. The company develops, manufactures, and markets three product categories from GMP-certified production facilities at its headquarters: prescription veterinary medicines (antibiotics, prostaglandins, oxytocin preparations, anesthetics, sedatives, anti-inflammatories, anthelmintics, mastitis therapies) sold under individual brand names; VeyFo® diet/feed supplements targeting metabolic disorders (ketosis, milk fever), digestive health, heat stress, joint support, and electrolyte balance across livestock and companion animals; and SanDitan® animal care products for skin, wound, and udder care. Manufacturing is vertically integrated with own active-ingredient production and dosage-form capabilities, supplemented by a new 300 sqm GMP laboratory opened at headquarters to expand R&D and quality control capacity.

The business is built on an exclusive veterinary-practice distribution channel in Germany — prescription medicines legally require veterinary authorization, and feed supplements and animal care products are also routed through vet clinics, enforced online via DocCheck authentication for restricted content under the German Heilmittelwerbegesetz — with international reach delivered through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Bulgaria and Slovakia, exclusive distribution partners in the Netherlands (Vaccifar BV) and Poland (MGS), and product registrations in over 60 countries spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. Feed supplements carry QS (food/feed safety) and VLOG (non-GMO) certifications, broadening eligibility into residue-free and GMO-free agricultural supply chains.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales to veterinary practices and via international distribution partners; pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no consolidated revenue figures are published. The company's stated customer base spans livestock farmers (cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, poultry), hobby animal owners (horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, ornamental birds), and the veterinary practices that act as both direct purchasers and prescribing gatekeepers. With 51-100 employees, the firm operates as a niche Mittelstand specialty manufacturer rather than a mass-market veterinary pharma player, and concentrates growth on incremental product-line extensions within its existing categories and countries.
