Leopold Fiebig GmbH & Co. KG is a regional pharmaceutical wholesaler headquartered in Messering 1, 76287 Rheinstetten, Germany, serving independent pharmacies (Apotheken) in southwest Germany for over 100 years. The company operates as a GmbH & Co. KG limited partnership under general partner Sanacorp Pharmahandel GmbH (Planegg), embedding it within the Sanacorp pharmaceutical wholesale group. Fiebig's core product is pharma-Großhandel — wholesale distribution of pharmaceutical products to pharmacies — supported by six service pillars: fast delivery, attractive purchasing conditions, compact pharmaceutical knowledge, high drug safety standards, individual marketing services, and maximum transparency. Operationally, the company runs GDP-certified logistics from Rheinstetten under oversight of Regierungspräsidium Karlsruhe.

The company monetizes through transaction-based wholesale distribution: pricing is governed by general terms and conditions at the delivery date price plus statutory VAT, with packaging and transport costs invoiced separately. Its go-to-market is direct B2B sales to independent pharmacies, supplemented by the Fiebig Kundenportal — a web-based self-service portal providing 24/7 access to order data, invoices, and account information. Adjacent offerings include continuing education seminars for pharmacy staff, a pharmacy-specific job exchange board (Jobbörse für Apotheken), and a wholly-owned subsidiary, Fiebig Palapharm GmbH, which extends the customer base to entrepreneur/business customers under separate terms effective December 1, 2014. The company is a member of Phagro, the German federal association of pharmaceutical wholesalers, and holds Good Distribution Practice certification verified by external audit. Management consists of Vorsitzender Patrick Neuss alongside Frank Hennings, Antje Saalfeld, and Frank Sczesny.
