FRIBAD – History in the Making

In 1939, company founder Walter Friedmann opened his first beauty salon close to Prussia’s legendary Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam. This laid the cornerstone for the successful FRIBAD company that, as it now approaches its 70th anniversary, has written cosmetic history. After the company moved to Baden-Baden, the name FRIBAD was derived from the first three letters of the founder’s name and those of its new home.

From the very beginning, Walter Friedmann’s guiding principle was to develop and distribute innovative and nature-oriented beauty products. The company, renamed FRIBAD COSMETICS GROUP GmbH in 2006, has remained true to this corporate philosophy till the present day. With the initial SANS SOUCIS brand, the BIODROGA label launched in 1959, and the FUTURESSE brand established in 2002, as well as the BOGNER Fragrance brand gained in 2007, FRIBAD offers the market a comprehensive product range that meets the strictest processing and quality assurance standards.

From the outset, the brands of the FRIBAD COSMETICS GROUP have been consistently developed to reflect the latest scientific findings. Ever since Walter Friedmann presented his first products at the 1948 Frankfurt Fair, this innovative strength has been the secret of success that distinguishes all FRIBAD products.

The FRIBAD COSMETICS GROUP remains a family-owned business with top credentials. With 270 employees, a motivated management team and state-of-the-art technology, FRIBAD manufactures its products exclusively at the Baden-Baden base, and markets them worldwide in more than 40 countries.
