Early 1990s | A large part of the company's success is thanks to its early focus on the slowly emerging Eastern European markets in the early 1990s. With its comprehensive product range, Dr. Theiss Naturwaren GmbH ranks among the market leaders in the region, in particular in Poland, Hungary, Russia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Croatia. |
Mid-1980s | Continuously increasing demand for natural medicinal and personal care products rapidly led to an expansion of the product range which was enjoying huge success in German pharmacies. Boosted by this positive development, the company began exporting to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and Ukraine. |
