Founded in 1989 in Lille, in the Hauts-de-France region, the Tradiphar laboratory is part of the French pharmaceutical tradition, combining heritage, innovation and pharmaceutical quality. Born of the takeover of the M.O. Cochon laboratory, founded in 1880, Tradiphar has managed to preserve its century-old know-how while developing new ranges of medicines, medical devices, food supplements, cosmetics and parapharmacy accessories.
With a presence in France and abroad, notably in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, Tradiphar offers solutions tailored to everyday health and well-being needs, in compliance with strict quality and safety standards.
A solid historical foundation: from M.O. Cochon to Tradiphar
Tradiphar's history began with Maurice Oscar Cochon, the pharmacist behind the famous Pommade Cochon, a keratolytic treatment for foot skin disorders such as corns and calluses. In 1989, pharmacist Manuel Dassonneville took over the M.O. Cochon laboratory and transferred production to Armentières, in a modern facility meeting today's pharmaceutical requirements.
In 1996, the laboratory was renamed Tradiphar, and continued to expand. In 1997, the Thermogen plant was integrated into its infrastructure. Between 2000 and 2005, Tradiphar expanded its product ranges, obtained CE marking for its medical devices in 2007, and in 2015 launched its tradiphar.com website, a veritable information and distribution portal.
