German company Goerlich is a contract manufacturer of supplements and other products that contain seafood-based ingredients. With this certification, Goerlich can display the Friend of the Sea eco-label on its products.

“It’s been an honor and a pleasure to work with Goerlich Pharma for so many years,” said Paolo Bray, director of Friend of the Sea. “Their attention to sustainability highlights the need to inform consumers about marine life that shows up in nutritional products.

“When it says that a product contains fish oil, people don’t always realize that at some point in the manufacturing process, there was an actual fish involved. Their certification is educational in this regard.”

Valued product range

Goerlich’s products include hard and soft capsules, tablets, chewable capsules, sticks and oil mixtures.

The company, founded in 1984, also performs coating and filming. Goerlich Pharma is the exclusive distributor of Norwegian manufacturer Epax’s marine Omega-3 concentrates in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Since 2015, Goerlich has also been exclusively marketing Algal oil 40% and DHA powder 10% and 17% for BioPlus, in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
