Distribution

Sales

Another important pillar of our method of business is our marketing and distribution system. We sell our products exclusively through specialist outlets (pharmacies and selected chemist's). Even doctors, and especially dermatologists, gladly prescribe and recommend our products.

We are convinced that good comprehensive skin care requires competent specialist advice. It takes a lot of experience and broad knowledge to be able to advise each client individually according to the type and condition of their skin. An optimal result can be achieved only with the necessary advice. In order to ensure the highest training, information distribution and advice, we supply only selected stockists according to strict criteria. These measures are not intended to prevent free competition but are purely for the quality of advice to our clients.

Growth

Although the quality not quantity of growth was always the critical factor, Louis Widmer today has subsidiary companies in five countries. Louis Widmer also has exclusive representatives and partners in 13 other countries.

The selection criterion for the partners is reliability, seriousness and especially maintaining and living the Widmer philosophy. This allows the values of the firm to remain intact despite expansion.

As the number of subsidiary companies and the success of them and the parent company have grown, so too has the number of personnel. The three-man operation has matured into an international company with more than 200 employees. Here again the motto is "Quality before Quantity".

The fact that Louis Widmer can today still count on many of its original staff shows that the philosophy of the company is treasured and carried on by the staff.
