Pharma Nord is a Danish pharmaceutical company based in Vejle.[1] It has a manufacturing facility and research laboratories in Vojens, Denmark. Pharma Nord has 25 daughter companies throughout Europe, Asia, North America and the Middle East. Pharma Nord is a privately owned limited company.[2]
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 1988, Pharma Nord (UK) was established to import products from Denmark to the UK market.
In 1990, Pharma Nord was the first company to introduce a coenzyme Q10 product (ubiquinone) on the European market after it was discovered in 1957 by Frederick Crane at Purdue University in Indiana. [independent source needed]
