History

 

FLORAPHARM® is characterized by the early identification of changes on the market and creating new trends. Always being one-step ahead determines the history and presence of the company in Germany. Over 20 years ago, everything started in Zapfendorf near Bamberg with the sale of eight teas. In the meantime, we have grown to offer about 1,000 teas. Since 2000, FLORAPHARM® is located in Schesslitz. The love for the product, the consistent high quality, the extraordinary engagement of the employees and the enormous innovation strength for the development of new tea trends – or in short: our passion for teas have remained the same.

Foundation

1992

Foundation of FLORAPHARM® in Zapfendorf, Germany.
Over 20 years ago, the pharmacist Georg Kroll founded the company FLORAPHARM®. In the first years, they focused on the set-up of a production according to pharmaceutical aspects that was possible due to the manufacturing license of medicinal teas. Both founders use their experience from their previous professional careers along with the will for self-employment as well as the love for nature and especially the love for tea-plants. The location Zapfendorf, near Bamberg, a rural region is ideal for the focusing on pure natural products.

The Relocation

2000

Move to Schesslitz, Germany.
The rapid expansion of FLORAPHARM® leads to the move to Schesslitz, where there is enough room for the consistent growth of the production. Furthermore, the ideal transport connections speaks in favor for the city near Bamberg. In Schesslitz, FLORAPHARM® built up a highly modern production plant with a strict separation of aromatized teas / herbal teas and classic teas.
