Growing long-term – in a family-operated business with a future

The companies in the Schwabe Group have long since been global players, as you can see by the Group’s 900 million euros in sales, 70 percent of which are in other countries. At the same time, we offer our employees all of the advantages of a family-operated company with  a rich tradition.

Making a difference: our management

Even after more than 150 years, the Schwabe Group still remains fully owned by the Schwabe family. The fact that our Group is led by Olaf Schwabe as a representive of the fifth  generation also means that our actions are oriented towards long-term interests, independence and core values: they are not governed by stakeholders and quarterly figures. We have defined our central principles and pillars of our work along with our employees: being transparent, together, respectful, binding, trustworthy and responsible. Living these values and our dedicated and motivated working climate are the cornerstone of our business success.  

Having fun: working together

We work together hand in hand in an atmosphere which entices you to stay and creates the foundation for a long-term work relationship defined by good faith. And we warmly welcome new faces, because we welcome diversity: we see diversity as an added value for the entire Group. When we speak of being a family business, we not only mean the descendants of Dr. Willmar Schwabe: we mean all of the Group employees. We stick together, help each other and share experiences which are fun – every day.  

Growing strong: our sense of unity

The Schwabe Group’s affiliated companies cover a broad portfolio ranging from premium-quality drugs in the fields of phytotherapy, homeopathy, medical devices and food supplements all the way to digital health solutions. And they all have one thing in common: they all involve natural raw materials. Our work as a cohesive unit within the Group leads to beneficial synergistic effects and always gives rise to new ideas. We complement each other perfectly, and together we can pursue ambitious goals.

Being ready for tomorrow: our common standard

With our natural solutions for good health, we help people make tangible improvements in their health and quality of life. No other company in this field has a comparable range of scientifically-rooted expertise as we do. At the same time, the quality standards we have estblished for our entire production and supply chain are truly unique, from the raw materials all the way to the finished products. We are mindful of how significant sustainability is. We are transparent in our communications about our ongoing sustainability activities. And that in turn means that when we look ahead, we can confidently offer our employees good jobs and long-term career prospects in the future as well.
