» History HWI group

From 1991 until today

HWI pharma services was founded in Rheinzabern in the Southern Palatinate in 1991 by Dr. Stefan Wissel and Professor Dr. Hanns Häberlein – at that time under the name HWI ANALYTIK. The first letters of the names Häberlein and Wissel gave rise to the name HWI. The addition “Analytik” describes the young entrepreneurs’ focus of activities at that time, which lay on the processing of analytical issues for medicinal products and related products.
