Engineer Erich Pfeiffer founded the Pfeiffer company in 1947. During the 1960s Pfeiffer developed the first leak-proof dispensing pump and launched the world's first nasal spray pump in 1972. The subsequent demand for Pfeiffer products led Pfeiffer to expand his activities worldwide. A long line of developments and innovations have made Pfeiffer a leading producer of spray and dispensing systems for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
