Eduard Gerlach laid the cornerstone for the world brands GEHWOL and GERLACH TECHNIK in 1868 when he took over his father Ludwig's colonial wares business and expanded it with a pharmacy.

Eduard Gerlach rapidly acquired the reputation of a pioneer in foot care: In 1882, he brought "E. Gerlach's Preservative Cream" onto the market - the first industrially produced foot care product worldwide.

Foot care is as individual as the problems which make the lives of clients more difficult. Reliable help can only be provided if the respective problem is corrected precisely and efficiently. This is done by the wide product range of GEHWOL with the right mix of modern, long proven and natural active substances and recipes.
