In 1927 the pharmacist Julius Wolf founded Nordmark Werke, now based in Uetersen near Hamburg, Germany. Biologicals were the company's business right from the start. Continuous improvement is a distinguishing feature of Nordmark products to this day. Nordmark continuously produces new and improved products based on in-house development know-how, science and technology, keeping pace with ever changing regulatory requirements.

The main active drug substance produced in Uetersen is pancreatin, an extract containing vital digestive enzymes obtained from porc pancreas glands. Nordmark has served the healthcare community with this product for three decades.

Our know-how acquired in 30 years of experience enables us to supply a full range of pancreatin products and services as well as the substance itself. Our product range embraces a selection of product grades, extensive analytical services and documentation. We also manufacture custom-made products and finished pharmaceuticals to individual customers' specifications. With the care and reliability that comes with experience and a sense of responsibility, our products never fail to meet the highest quality standards.
