History
Fissan was founded in 1930, producing powders and pastes designed to protect the skin of babies and children. For over 80 years, Fissan has offered a range of products made from selected ingredients and hypoallergenic formulas. <http://www.fissan.com/Articoli/Dettaglio/417032/chi-siamo> In 1882, Wormser Apotheker Rudolf Pizzala began producing bio-based antidepressants, initially on a small scale with about six employees by 1897. The chemist Arthur Sauer (1874-1946) started operations in 1898, specializing in milk preparations based on casein. He named his company German Milchwerke Dr. A. Sauer. Expansion included branch operations, such as in Stockheim (Upper Hesse).
Based on research into milk protein from the mid-1920s, the company developed a range of powders, pastes, oils, and soaps under the Fissan brand, achieving global success. Fissan is a word created from the Latin terms "fissura" (fissure) and "sanare" (to heal), and translates to "heal a wound". The company, based on this success, was a major employer in the Hessian mountain region in the 1930s. By 1934, the company employed 160 workers and staff, along with 50 sales personnel, some living in newly constructed factory housing.
After the American occupation of Zwingenbergs on March 27, 1945, factory buildings and parts of the factory housing, as well as the Villa Sauer, were confiscated. Outsourced production resumed by April 30, 1945. After expropriation and the Spruchkammer method, Arthur Sauer died on November 29, 1946, under unclear circumstances.
The chemist Veith led the company in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1969, Preussag acquired two-thirds of the shares, with the remaining third held by the Kinzinger family. On March 1, 1970, Preussag acquired the remaining shares. The Fissan plant was sold to the Darmstadt chemical company Merck, who continued the brand but closed the factory.
From the mid-1990s, the Fissan brand was used by Sara Lee Germany GmbH. In the spring of 2007, the Fissan Kids brand was relaunched, with collaborations with the Coppenrath Verlag resulting in the Fissan Kids Lillifee and Fissan Kids Felix product lines. In 2010, Unilever acquired the company and the brand.
