Abtswinder Naturheilmittel

What Abtswinder Naturheilmittel does

Abtswinder Naturheilmittel GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1982 and headquartered in Abtswind, Germany, is a contract manufacturer (Lohnhersteller) specializing in plant-based medicinal teas, pleasure/enjoyment teas, dietary supplements, and plant-based cosmetics. The company holds its own pharmaceutical manufacturing permit under §13 of the German Medicines Act (AMG) and operates GMP-certified production, with an in-house Qualified Person (QP) overseeing quality and regulatory conformity. Its portfolio includes over 100 medicinal teas and healing herbs, and production is designed to handle batches from 1,000 to 1,000,000 units, serving both startups and large corporations. The firm sells exclusively on a B2B basis — never to private consumers — through direct sales to pharmacies, specialty retailers, food retail chains, industrial customers, drugstores, and online traders, with quote-based, multi-year contract pricing.

The business operates a dual model combining Private Label and White Label contract manufacturing services (covering formulation development, production, filling, packaging, and logistics) with sales of its own Abtswinder-branded medicinal teas. The company is certified under GMP, NATRUE, Fairtrade (FLO-CERT), Bio (DE-ÖKO-001), IFS Food, and Ökostrom, positioning it across pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and ESG-conscious customer segments. Since January 2025, Abtswinder has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bad Heilbrunner Naturheilmittel GmbH & Co. KG and operates within the HERMES Group, a foundation-controlled (Johannes-Burges-Familienstiftung) platform of approximately 1,000 employees across four companies at six locations in Germany and Austria. Day-to-day management is led by Managing Director Umut Sezer, and the company currently lists six open positions across production, logistics, quality assurance, engineering, controlling, and sales functions.
