German Herbal Medicine
Cosmetic products
Skin regeneration using proven natural formulations
Evers’ values have been built on three basic principals over the last century:
Proven science, herbal benefits and our wonderful people
From these we derive our three key values:
Purity
We are pioneers in efficacious herbal drugs and both research and innovation have always been paramount. Our unique extraction processes, carefully selected plant sources and deep commitment to healthier lives all contribute to the natural purity of our products.
Reliability
We are a team of scientists and conduct intensive trials on all our pharmaceuticals to confirm pharmacological effects. Strict European standards apply to everything we do in our laboratory and our expert team is strongly committed to quality.
Responsibility
The heart of Evers’ long success story is our employees – passionate experts. Our responsibility extends outside the laboratory to our suppliers whose collaborative relationships with Evers ensure the sustainability and consistency of our products.
German Heritage
A German family business
Pharmazeutische Fabrik Evers GmbH & Co. KG has its roots in the family business of the brothers Walter and Paul Evers. Originally tea importers in Hamburg, Germany, they recognised the potential for herbal extractions – Paul was first to introduce Yerba mate to the German market, while Walter was passionate about natural pharmaceuticals and truly ahead of this time.
Research pioneers
As business boomed, in 1922 they founded their own laboratory and the ‘Pharma Evers’ story began. The brothers developed advanced extraction processes for the active ingredients of over 50 medicinal plants, supported by Paul’s expertise in sourcing teas from around the world.
Manufacturing begins
In 1933, Paul launched Pharmazeutische Fabrik Evers (Evers Pharmaceutical Factory) in Hamburg to increase manufacturing capacity.
After the turmoil of the mid-20th century abated, Walter saw the opportunity in combining their pharmaceutical-grade herbal extracts to achieve enhanced pharmacological effects. He took over the company and built a team of scientists and pharmacists who shared his lifelong passion.
Research & Innovation
Eviprostat Launch
Having specialised in the urological and gastroenterological sector, 1953 was the next major milestone in the growth of Pharma Evers. Eviprostat was successfully launched into the German market – a combination of several herbal extracts treating the symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia.
Responsible science
Always science-led, Walter was significantly involved in research and commissioning clinical studies to establish the safety and efficacy of each new drug. He demanded the highest standards of his team, product quality and proven pharmacological effect – strong German values that carry-through to the present day.
International Expansion
New facilities
In 1959 a new factory was built in Pinneberg, Germany. This strengthened our production and research facilities, which allowed Pharma Evers to expand its distribution outside Europe.
Success in Japan
Building on strong sales of Eviprostat in Europe, other products followed – as did export opportunities. Our story in Asia started in Japan, where Circanetten and Eviprostat were launched in 1967.
New Asian markets
Other markets were quick to recognise the health benefits of our unique German herbal pharmaceutical products and Pharma Evers now has a strong export presence in China, Hong Kong SAR, Thailand and Vietnam.
Bright Future

Pharma Evers’ long heritage, strong German values and success in Asian markets formed the basis for a successful acquisition by Bright Future in 2018. Today we work in partnership for a brighter life, better future.
