Gustav Lotze's chemiske Fabriker

History
Gustav Lotze by L. Dinesen

The company was founded as a wholesale business in 1860 by pharmacist at the Løve Apotek in Odense Ernst Gustav Lotze (1825-1893).[1] It supplied other pharmacies with a range of pharmaceuticals and chemical compinds which had until then been imported. Lotze cultivated medicinal plants for use in the production on a property outside Odense.[2] The company was initially operated out of the Løve Apotek's building but Lotze was later able to expand the premises through the purchase of several of the adjacent building and a new factory was built at the site in 1887.[3]

The company was converted into a limited company (aktieselskab) and acquired by Det Danske Medicinal- & Kemikalie-Kompagni A/S in 1919.[1]
