Company History
The Bittner family has passed on its knowledge of the healing properties of herbs from one generation to the next. The harmonious blend of traditional know-how and modern technology led to the creation of the company in 1954, in Weitensfeld, in the Carinthian Gurktal Nature Park.
Originally focusing on the development and production of herbal and complex, homeopathic remedies, Richard Bittner AG has gone from strength to strength, culminating in a modern, research-based pharmaceutical company..
