H.E. Kugelmans & Co. continued its trade in herbs, herbal remedies, mineral supplements, and more, both wholesale and retail.

The Van Wunniks, founders of Summit Health Products and Windmill Herb Farm, purchased the company in 1977. Kugelmans products continued to be sold in the market.

After a few changes in ownership over the years, H.E. Kugelmans & Co. was acquired by Medtracos Pty Ltd in 2017, with the intention of bringing Kugelmans products back for the 21st century. Our current herbalist still remains with us after 34 years.
