An independent jury led by publisher Dr Florian Langenscheidt has named foot care specialist Eduard Gerlach from Lübbecke in East Westphalia ‘Brand of the Century’ with his GEHWOL brand. The jury prize is awarded to one company in each product category every three years.
Eduard Gerlach GmbH has set its course for the future with its new building. The resulting building not only meets very high traditional quality standards, but also links the company's own history with sustainable action. This results in a building that, in many ways, allows energy-saving operations and production at the highest level.
pH skin neutral does not make foot care products better. Gerlach initiates the first foot care study on a controversial counselling issue. It shows: The pH value of a product has no influence on the pH value of the skin. On the other hand, the pH value is an important factor for the quality of the formulation. The study also shows that suitable formulations can improve the skin's condition.
The GEHWOL foot care trends show: Foot care is turning into a lifestyle. For many, pampering their feet is part of a carefree and healthy lifestyle. More than half of the respondents also use foot care rituals for personal relaxation. Well-groomed feet also play an important role in an existing or prospective partnership.

Four out of five foot amputations could be prevented in diabetics. Prerequisite among other things: Risk awareness! According to the GEHWOL Diabetes Report, there is a lack of awareness.
