Diomed Developments

The Diomed Group is remarkable for many reasons: Founded nearly 60 years ago, the company is an independent, family-run business. Competing in an industry dominated by large multi-nationals, the Group has flourished as a private, British enterprise. Most of the company's business is conducted in the UK, where several products rank as brand leaders... in their categories. The Diomed Group brings together research, development, manufacture, marketing and distribution under one umbrella - something rarely seen in a relatively small, family owned company. 1963 Dermal Laboratories was founded by a London physician to develop, market and distribute pharmaceutical products to dermatologists. 1970 - The company moved from London to the company's present location in rural Hertfordshire. 1970s - Dermal grew rapidly, broadening from supplying speciality products for dermatologists to include prescriptions products for GPs and nurses. 1980s - The company adopted the name Diomed Developments for the company's parent company, and acquired large, new warehouse premises at Kempston. 1990s The company expanded into the OTC market and also acquired Aeropak, to become the Diomed Group of companies. 2013 - A new "Springwood Research Centre" was opened on the company's Hitchin site, representing the company's dedication to innovation and continued research. 2017 - A new Sunbeam Development Laboratory was constructed at the company's Kempston site. 2019 - A new Whitefield Wing was added to the Springwood Research Centre.Read More
