Our medical expertise

Two renowned dentists founded NUK in Germany in 1947. Their philosophy is as important today as it was then:

To support and promote babies’ oral development


NUK continues to work with a team of experts in the fields of pediatrics, dentistry, and nutritional science to create the best products for babies around the world. We also listen to the real experts -- moms just like you. By combining this medical and real-world experience, our products are thoughtfully designed to be as close to natural as possible.

 

NUK pacifiers are #1 in North America

Today NUK products are sold in over 100 countries and have been distributed in the U.S. for over 20 years. In 2009 NUK purchased Gerber's accessory products giving the brand the opportunity to offer a wider range of products for moms and babies. NUK has three factories worldwide: One in Germany, one in Brazil and one in North America (Wisconsin, to be exact, where many of our products are made).


All NUK products meet and exceed all U.S. and international safety standards and are BPA free.
