The beginnings: consultancy
Why are certain health products not available in drugstores? What might the added value and impulses be that make industry and trade even more successful in designing and marketing their range of goods? What services can private labels offer to stand out in different product groups? How do you find suitable partners? With these considerations in mind, Promarcon was founded in 1993 as a consultancy firm in Wehrheim im Taunus.

The development: products
The company has established itself over the years in the consulting business. Alongside this, a broad service portfolio was created which also included the conception and distribution of private label products (trademarks) and led to the establishment of a company network. This soon also included Dr. Kleine Pharma, which was founded in Bielefeld. The "asset-light approach" has proven to be the company's formula for success: we do not have our own production facilities, we develop and manufacture our products through a network which encompasses the best suppliers in Germany and worldwide.
In exchange with large trading companies, another strong idea was born - it was the nucleus for the distribution of our own consumer healthcare brands. The idea was to launch the first non-pharmacy-only cold sore cream onto the market. It was a market innovation. The team of consultants at the time founded the SOS brand and distributed the product itself. Today, SOS is a leading healthcare brand in the drugstore business.

The focus: consumer brands
From 2008, the Promarcon network became the WindStar Medical Group and the company's expertise grew rapidly - including through strategic acquisitions. In 2018, Zirkulin was acquired to complement the WindStar Medical Group's brand portfolio. The natural products from this quality brand have impressed consumers for 90 years.
Today, the Windstar Medical Group is highly modular and analytical thanks to its platform approach. This means that our structure enables us to quickly realise innovative business ideas or new products and make them big internationally. This development is a logical consequence of our history. On this basis, Districon creates strong consumer brands with a business model focused strictly on customer needs.
