The historic and steadfast development of MARBERT exemplifies the solid progress of German brands. As one of the world's leading pharmaceutical group Hoechst AG over the years has invested generously in research, development and technical resources. In this spirit, they bought over the cosmetic business founded by the cosmetician, Ingrid Marbert in 1936. At the time of purchase in 1968, the cosmetics had already grown to a volume, which needed investments from a larger company to take it forward.

Having started with skin care products, body care was added. In 1978 Marbert Man, the fragrance was launched. With cast research possibilities afforded by the parent, Hoechst AG, it is natural that skin and body care patents are more important than fragrances. With the growth of affluence in the home market and Germans traveling abroad, coupled with influence from other European products, the domestic demand for body and skin care grew rapidly. Moreover, MARBERT's solid reputation of a serious company that fully tests and quality controls all its products, demand from abroad became very important.

MARBERT painstakingly makes its clients aware of the qualities, emphasizing on the safety of its products. They were the first company in Germany to mention the range of the ingredients on the outer packaging of each item, thereby strictly adhering to American FDA standards on labeling.


With MARBERT branches in the whole of Western Europe, and importers in 30 other countries of Europe and the rest of the world, the network is extremely well established and co-ordinated from Head Office. All the products available are produced and exported from Dusseldorf. There is no other production plant, as the existing one has sufficient capacity for all their needs and the maintenance of quality, a prime factor for MARBERT, is ensured in Dusseldorf. Packaging is another important factor for their products, and the standards of this must also be kept high. Also, all their products have instructions and texts in four European languages. Another important asset that MARBERT products offer the consumer is the price/quality ratio. While their products are not as expensive as some luxury brands, they offer at least the same quality. Profutura is a new development for MARBERT and totally unique.
