Weishardt International

Weishardt is a long-established French manufacturer of gelatin, marine collagen peptides, and texturizing solutions serving the food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and beauty markets. Founded in 1839, the company is a global producer of pig skin, bovine hide, and fish-derived gelatin, and markets its marine collagen peptide range under the Naticol brand. In healthcare-related markets, Weishardt supplies pharmaceutical gelatin and collagen-based ingredients used in capsules, microencapsulation, supplements, and functional formulations rather than developing proprietary therapeutics. The company operates multiple production plants and exports a large majority of its sales internationally. Its business is best characterized as a commercial-stage specialty ingredients and excipients manufacturer with a strong position in marine collagen.
