// Becoming a European supplier

From an ancillary business to a pharmaceutical supplier

The AMINO GmbH has never stood still. Starting in 1958 as a seemingly barely profitable ancillary business of the liquid sugar production, AMINO developed into a major European supplier for the pharmaceutical and medical sector over the following 60 years. The history of AMINO shows impressively what has happened in recent years and highlights which changes have been made over and over again to become even more innovative and successful.

This creates opportunities for the further development of the company into a globally active supplier of high-quality amino acids and comparable active ingredients.

At that time, AMINO is running parallel to the company's main business, the liquid sugar production, and contributes little to the company's economic success.
