Pulmoll — The Story
80 years

Red & Round. An extraordinary brand story.

Take a look back at the story of the iconic tin, which has been accompanying people in their everyday lives since 1946. Scroll down.

Chapter I — The Origin1946

An idea. A pharmacist.

Year of establishment

The Pulmoll lozenge was invented in 1946 by the French pharmacist Jacques Lafarge on the outskirts of Paris. The name is derived from the Latin word “pulmonis,” meaning “lungs.” The small lozenges became such a great success that additional flavours soon followed—just ten years later, the Laboratoires Lafarge were producing over 10 million tins per year.

Chapter II — Launch in Germany1956

Hello, Germany.

Launch Germany

In 1956, Pulmoll was introduced to Germany for the first time as an over-the-counter health product. Since then, the original recipe has remained almost unchanged: the combination of licorice root, soothing honey, and menthol. The small lozenge in its distinctive tin has developed into one of the country’s most successful tin candy brands.

Chapter III — More Variety1980

Eight new Flavours.

Product Range Expansion

In the early 1980s, the product range expanded significantly: eight additional herbal and fruit varieties were introduced — from spicy to fruity. A tin for every taste.

Chapter IV — Sugar-Free & Fruity2012

Stevia & Fruit Juice.

Recipe Update

Since 2012, sugar-free Pulmoll lozenges have been sweetened with steviol glycosides from stevia, among other ingredients. The fruit varieties contain natural fruit juice concentrate for an even more intense, fruitier taste — completely sugar-free.
