ECLIPSE BIOFARMAB

Was established in 1983, by its present owners, under the name Eclipse Products. From the start the focus was on carefully developed and tested products of the highest quality. At an early stage vets and pharmacological experts were consulted to reach the rigorous standards desired.

Genuine horse experience

The founders have had a long relationship, and genuine experience, with different disciplines in the equine sports. The bulk of today’s 16 employees have long-term experience with horses.
A slogan, which has followed the company through the years, is: "Made by horsemen for horses". 

          

International introduction

In 1986 the dairy in Hishult, southern Sweden, was purchased. The old dairy turned out to be an excellent manufacturing and package centre for clays and other equine products. The same year the company attended the SPOGA-fair in Cologne. This was the catalyst for the sale of products to several countries. Today the products are exported to more than 30 countries and exports account for about 40 % of turnover.

In 1987 the company changed name to Eclipse Biofarmab. In 1988 cooperation with Foran Equine products, Ireland’s leading manufacturer of feed additives and horse care products began.
This cooperation has been strengthened during the years and has contributed to Eclipse Biofarmab’s leading position as a distributor and manufacturer of horse care products and feed additives.

 

 

A name synonymous with quality


The name Eclipse demands a more detailed explanation. In Great Britain in 1764 a thoroughbred was born who descended from the Darley Arabian’s line. He was born during an eclipse of the sun, and was thus named Eclipse. Eclipse grew up to become one of the greatest racehorses ever. He started 27 times and withdrew from the turf undefeated! As a breeder he became a formidable success and one of the greatest formers in thoroughbred lineage. Almost 90% of all thoroughbreds can be traced back to Eclipse


Hambletonian is a direct descendant of Eclipse, which means that all American trotters are descendants of Eclipse. In many countries the Eclipse Stakes are ridden every year to honour one of the greatest horses ever raced. It was appropriate that a name synonymous with quality be chosen for the newly established company, Eclipse, in 1983.

 Continuous expansion

    

During 1988 the first sachet packaged product was introduced, Rehalyt Electrolytes and vitamins for competition horses. This product has developed into a best seller over the years.Biosynov was introduced in 1991 and has ever since been one of Biofarmab’s largest selling products.

In 1993 another factory was purchased in Hishult. The majority of the business is situated in the new building – manufacturing and packaging of feed additives, warehousing and administration. The old building is used solely for the manufacturing of topical products, i.e. clays and liniments.

The big news of 1997 was the introduction of the energy additive Hitargo. Hitargo is manufactured by Carbamyl and is distributed by Biofarmab. In 1997 Eclipse Biofarmab was approved as a supplier to the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Further recognition of the high quality of its products.

Biofarmab’s "big" products during the 21st century have been the glucose amine product Bioglucomine (2000) and the dietary feed additive Fiberplex (2002).
