Company
For 154 years, specifically since 1868, the qualified pharmacist Eduard Gerlach GmbH has provided foot healthcare worldwide. He is also one of the most essential foot care full-service providers for the needs of their specialized trade partners, foot proficients. For over 150 years, GEHWOL endeavored to develop treatments for foot problems, and the launch of the first-foot care cream for home use, “E. Gerlach’s Preservative Cream,” helped to great market success 138 years ago, which made Gehwol the best-known foot care brand by far in Germany and the most well-known product line. Additionally, the brand’s emblem, “Everything for the well-being of the feet,” is still held to this day.
Vision
Eduard Gerlach founded the company with the vision and conviction that it would: assist people with foot problems; make foot care accessible to all; develop expertise in the foot care market, and raise foot care awareness. As a result, he became the modern foot care pioneer. The vision, experience, and values were also passed down through the generations. He has ensured the family business’s success for over 150 years.
Trademark
Furthermore, the approval of the company’s request to use the keys from Lübbecke’s coat of arms as its own trademark by the town administration was a great honor. At the time, it was still used to describe Gerlach items, attesting to their superior quality. It also expresses the relationship between the town and Lübbecke. The keys to shared success are the company, its employees, the carefully chosen distribution route through the specialized trade, and happy customers who buy and use the company’s products.
Experts
FUSSKRAFT – exclusively for foot care experts is one of the factors that helped the development of foot cream become an outstanding success story was the collaboration of foot care specialists, which began to establish themselves as an independent service in the health market in postwar Germany, originating from the occupational profile of barber surgeons. Foot care professionals have the most in-depth understanding of their clients’ foot health. As a result, they are the most qualified to advise on developing foot care products. As a result, Gerlach introduced GEHWOL FUSSKRAFT in 1961. This product line is specifically designed for the needs of foot care practitioners and is thus strongly related to the foot care professional’s consulting knowledge.

International Brand

There was the potash footbath, which had a reputation for reducing calluses and treating wounds but had the apparent disadvantage of being unable to be used during the famous long marches.

The product received numerous international accolades and proved to be a problem solver.
