Fisherman's Friend Raspberry

Fisherman's Friend is a globally recognized brand of menthol lozenges, originally developed by pharmacist James Lofthouse in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England. Created in 1865 to help relieve respiratory problems for deep-sea fishermen, the product transitioned from a liquid to its iconic lozenge form.

Today, the brand remains a family-owned business under the company Lofthouse of Fleetwood Ltd. Unlike many global brands that have been acquired by large conglomerates, Fisherman's Friend maintains its manufacturing roots in Fleetwood, from where it exports to over 100 countries. In many European markets, including Germany, the product is distributed by regional partners like CFP Brands, but the ultimate ownership and production remain concentrated in the UK.
