Fisherman’s Friend Menthol Lozenges

Fisherman’s Friend is an iconic brand of strong menthol lozenges founded in 1865 in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England. Originally developed by pharmacist James Lofthouse to help fishermen endure the freezing and harsh conditions of the North Sea, the product has remained a family-owned legacy for over 150 years.

What makes the brand unique in the modern era is its commitment to its roots; despite being a global household name sold in over 100 countries, every single Fisherman’s Friend lozenge is still manufactured at the Lofthouse of Fleetwood factory in the United Kingdom. This central production model ensures consistency and quality control according to the original standards. The brand continues to be owned and managed by the Lofthouse family, maintaining its independence from large global food conglomerates.
