From a vision to leading partner of the pharmaceutical industry
It began with the vision of the transdermal therapeutic system and developed into a success story sustained to this day. In 1984 the LTS LOHMANN Therapie-System GmbH & Co. KG was founded in Neuwied; soon afterwards the first successful products were already being marketed, including a nitroglycerine patch for the preventive treatment of angina pectoris and the world-wide first nicotine patch.
LTS was founded as a subsidiary of the Lohmann Group. The former parent company Lohmann was founded in 1851 and is active in different business sectors – medical products, adhesive tape systems, and spunbonded fabrics.
In 1999 the company was converted into a stock company. In the more than 26 years of the company's existence, LTS has expanded into one of the world-wide principal suppliers of transdermal and oral systems for the international pharmaceutical industry.
