History
Pharma Nord was founded in 1981 by the two current owners, Eli Wallin and Sven Moesgaard, who established an import of a British selenium dietary supplement. Soon after, the product was further developed into the product sold today as Bio-Selenium+Zinc, which is still a cornerstone of Pharma Nord's product range. The commercial success of Bio-Selenium+Zinc paved the road for the first daughter companies that were established in Sweden, England and Finland.
In 1990, Pharma Nord was the first company to introduce a coenzyme Q10 product, Bio-Quinone Q10, as a dietary supplement on the European market.
In June 2005, the first turf for a DKK 150 million (USD 27 million) factory was cut by the Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Hans Christian Schmidt, expanding Pharma Nord's production facilities in Vojens, Jutland.
In 2007, Pharma Nord was ranked as number 286 of engineer-related businesses by the weekly newspaper Ingeniøren.
Pharma Nord products are currently retailed in more than 45 countries.
