The Beginnings: Consulting
Why are certain healthcare products not available in drugstores? What added value and impulses can help industry and retail design and market their product ranges more successfully? What services can make private labels stand out across different product categories? How can the right partners be found? Promarcon was founded in 1993 in Wehrheim, Taunus, as a consulting firm to explore these questions.

The Development: Products
Over the years, the company established itself in the consulting field. At the same time, a broad range of services emerged, including the development and distribution of private-label products, leading to the creation of a business network. One of the early network partners was Dr. Kleine Pharma, founded in Bielefeld. A key to the company's success has been its "asset-light" approach: without owning any production facilities, we develop and bring our products to market in collaboration with the best partners in Germany and around the world.
Through ongoing exchange with major retailers, another powerful idea took shape – the starting point for distributing our own consumer healthcare brands. The goal was to launch the first cold sore cream outside of pharmacies. A true market innovation. The consulting team at the time quickly founded the SOS brand and distributed the product themselves. Today, SOS is a leading healthcare brand in the drugstore market.

The Focus: Consumer Brands
In 2008, the Promarcon network evolved into the WindStar Medical Group, and the company's expertise grew rapidly – also through strategic acquisitions. In 2018, Zirkulin was added to complement WindStar Medical Group's brand portfolio. Zirkulin's natural products have been winning customers over for 90 years.
Today, the WindStar Medical Group operates in a highly modular and analytical manner through its platform approach. This structure enables us to rapidly develop and scale innovative business ideas and new products internationally. This development is a logical progression of our history. Based on this foundation, Districon builds strong consumer brands through a business model strictly focused on customer needs.
