Valphira Medical Solutions
GMP-cerftified German Contract Manufacturer for Supplements & Pharmaceuticals
About Valphira Medical Solutions
Valphira Medical Solutions GmbH is a German contract manufacturer based in Giessen, Germany. It produces dietary supplements, over-the-counter pharmaceuticals and homeopathic products to GMP standards in its own facility, drawing on more than 125 years of pharmaceutical production heritage. Valphira works as both a contract manufacturer and a private label partner: brands can bring a finished formulation or develop one together with Valphira's team.
The company specialises in solid dosage forms, tablets, film-coated tablets, capsules and powders, and runs low minimum order quantities, which makes it a fit for brands producing small first batches as well as those scaling into larger campaigns.
Key Take-Aways:
GMP-certified contract manufacturer producing in a single owned facility in Gießen, Germany (no intermediary).
Specialist in solid dosage forms: tablets, film-coated tablets, capsules and powders. Liquid forms are also offered.
Serves three categories: dietary supplements, OTC pharmaceuticals and homeopathic products.
Offers both contract manufacturing and private label. Bring your own formulation or co-develop it.
Batch sizes run from 50 kg to 600 kg, with multiples of that in campaign operation, so small launch runs are viable.

Where Valphira fits
Valphira suits brands that want German GMP production without the high minimums that large pharma lines usually demand. The combination of low batch sizes, solid dosage specialisation, in-house packaging and a single accountable site makes it a practical fit for first launches, line extensions and reorders in supplements, OTC and homeopathy. Brands that need injectables, sterile production or dosage forms outside the solid and liquid range should confirm scope directly.
