The company was founded in 1987 by Gertrud Halberstadt, Dr. med. Hoffmann and Martin Kessel and operated until 1997 as a company of the Pro Familia association under the name `PROFAMILIA Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH & Co KG` in Frankfurt / Main. After all shareholders left the Pro Familia association, the company was renamed KESSEL Marketing & Vertriebs GmbH. Since November 1999, the company has been based in 64546 Mörfelden-Walldorf near Frankfurt / Main. In May 2014, the company name and corporate objectives were adapted to the changed business activities: Research, development, production and distribution of medical devices for contraception and sexual medicine will continue under the name KESSEL medintim GmbH. In April 2016, the company moved to the new business premises in Nordendstr. 82-84. Together with the company Distler Medizintechnik, the company now operated even more efficiently and with less strain on resources.
