What Euro Vital Pharma GmbH does

Euro Vital Pharma GmbH is a Hamburg-based private label specialist and contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) for OTC consumer healthcare products, originally established in 1992 and reorganized under the EVP Group structure in 2020. The company develops and manufactures non-pharmacy pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food supplements, and cosmetics across all major dosage forms including tablets, capsules, gummies, sprays, creams, liquids, and granules, with a portfolio of more than 300 articles and 1,400 SKUs group-wide. Its Leipzig facility operates under EU GMP certification and a §13 AMG manufacturer permit, supported by 40 proprietary marketing authorizations for OTC pharmaceuticals and 20 medical device registrations, with MDR certification extended through December 31, 2028.

The company's business model is B2B sales-led, serving major DACH retailers (dm, MIGROS, EDEKA, ALDI Suisse), pharmacy wholesalers, OTC brand manufacturers, and international distributors across 40 countries. Revenue is generated through four streams: private label manufacturing, CDMO services, own-brand sales under the heilusan® brand, and regulatory affairs services. The group combines four wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany, UK, Spain, and Slovakia, producing over 95 million units annually with 330 employees. The 2022 merger of EVP Group and Vitafy Brands created a European multi-channel consumer health platform, with product launches of 50 new SKUs in the past three years signaling continuous pipeline activity, and export operations particularly focused on Asia under a MADE IN GERMANY positioning.
