Goals & Vision

From a family business to innovation leader

Plantafood Medical began over 20 years ago as a small family business with the vision of contributing to a healthy diet and lifestyle as a competent partner for the development and manufacture of nutritional supplements. The initially small company has grown into a national champion and innovation leader that fully supports its customers as a trusted manufacturing partner.

Today, with over 120 dedicated employees, we are one of the German market leaders in the research & development and contract manufacturing of food supplements for humans and animals. With the highest standards of quality and innovative spirit, we develop and produce individually formulated food supplements for national and international supplement brands. We offer our customers a full range of services in research & development, production and sales support for capsules, tablets, powders, liquids and other dosage forms.

Healthy nutrition, innovation and a respectful approach to nature and the environment are always at the heart of what we do. That is why we have relied on strong development expertise and exclusively on the highest quality "Made in Germany" production right from the start. In close cooperation with our customers, we develop innovative and high-quality food supplements.

Focus on research & development

Our focus is on research & development and continuous further development. This ensures that we can always provide our customers with the best possible support and the latest state of research.

Our interdisciplinary research and development department brings together experts in nutritional science, biology, food technology, engineering, marketing and business management. Our knowledge is supplemented by external specialists, including doctors, alternative practitioners and colleges and universities from Germany and abroad. This ensures that we are always up to date with the latest scientific findings and developments in the healthcare market. One focus of our research is the analysis of new international nutritional studies.

In addition to innovative ingredients, we also rely on technological advances such as the micronization process, which optimizes the bioavailability of micronutrients. We also facilitate the implementation of utility models and patented solutions.

Our clients appreciate our reliable, fast and customer-oriented service and enjoy the benefits of our large network, which also includes lawyers, marketing and sales specialists.
