Expanding our portfolio
In addition to the HARTMANN brand, several subsidiaries are part of the Group: the companies Kneipp, CMC, and KOB. Find out more about our Complementary Group Divisions here.
The Complementary Group Divisions strategically expand our portfolio.
Kneipp
Under the motto “Joyful by nature”, the Kneipp Group markets body care products, dietary supplements, and herbal medicines.
The company is expanding, with a new, 10,000-square-meter manufacturing plant slated for completion in 2024 at the headquarters in Ochsenfurt. This new facility will double the location’s original size. The company is thus laying the foundations for future growth.
At the same time, the company places great emphasis on sustainability. From raw materials and packaging to logistics, Kneipp endeavors to make its operations environmentally friendly across the entire production chain. This is why the company committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – an important step toward enhancing transparency in the company’s pursuit of its sustainability goals.
In addition to its core market Germany, Kneipp supplies other European countries as well as Asia and North America – consumer markets that are growing in importance. All in all, HARTMANN is investing EUR 45 million in buildings and machines at the headquarters.
